Absurdly busy judge initially dismissed law student for digital pro? (10)
I believe the answer is:
manicurist
'digital pro?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'absurdly busy judge initially dismissed law student' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'busy' could be 'manic' (I've seen this before) and 'manic' is present in the answer.
'dismissed' could be 'st' and 'st' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'uri' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for manicurist that I've seen is " pro with file?".)
