A secretive person and worker crying out (7)
I believe the answer is:
clamant
'crying out' is the definition.
'clamant' can be an answer for 'crying' (thesaurus). I am not certain of the 'out' bit.
'a secretive person and worker' is the wordplay.
'a secretive person' becomes 'clam' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'worker' becomes 'ant' (worker is a type of ant).
'clam'+'ant'='CLAMANT'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for clamant that I've seen before include "demanding urgent attention" , "Calling out" , "Malt can (anag.)" , "Noisy" , "Loudly vocal" .)
