A sort of craftsman – English, wild one (8)
I believe the answer is:
engraver
'a sort of craftsman' is the definition.
(engraver is a kind of craftsperson)
'english wild one' is the wordplay.
'english' becomes 'eng' (abbreviation).
'wild one' becomes 'raver'.
'eng'+'raver'='ENGRAVER'
'aeur' acts as a link.
This may not be correct. It may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for engraver that I've seen before include "Design cutter" , "One cutting a design" , "Craftsman carving a design" , "who produces incisive letters" , "one who writes cuttingly" .)
