Agnostic putting silver in pot (5)
I believe the answer is:
pagan
'agnostic' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'silver in pot' is the wordplay.
'silver' becomes 'Ag' (Ag is the chemical symbol for silver).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'pot' becomes 'pan' (I've seen this in other clues).
'ag' going inside 'pan' is 'PAGAN'.
'putting' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pagan that I've seen before include "Unchristian" , "One who does not acknowledge your god(s)" , "Heathen; non-believer" , "Person without any conventional religion" , "A heathen, not a Christian" .)
