An accommodating man (8)
I believe the answer is:
landlord
'an accommodating man' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'man' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'man' could be 'land' and 'land' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'lord' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for landlord that I've seen before include "One who rents out property" , "He lets out building for rent" , "Innkeeper" , "Pub proprietor" , "Male lessor" .)
