Aerial transport for a lumberjack? (7)
I believe the answer is:
chopper
'lumberjack?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.
'aerial transport for a' is the wordplay.
'aerial transport for' becomes 'chop' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'a' becomes 'per' (eg 'one a day' means 'one per day').
'chop'+'per'='CHOPPER'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for chopper that I've seen before include "Butcher's cleaver" , "Lizzie Borden" , "An axe, or a slang helicopter" , "Small axe" , "Motorbike" .)
