Accommodating type from the Loire in trouble (8)
I believe the answer is:
hotelier
'accommodating type' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'the loire in trouble' is the wordplay.
'in trouble' indicates an anagram.
'the'+'loire'='theloire'
'theloire' with letters rearranged gives 'HOTELIER'.
'from' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hotelier that I've seen before include "One offering tourist accommodation" , "One supplies accommodation" , "I can offer you accommodation" , "Owner of the Savoy, say" , "One such as Conrad Hilton" .)
