Another name for a pool shark (7)
I believe the answer is:
hustler
This might be a double definition.
'another name' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'pool shark' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'for a' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hustler that I've seen before include "Aggressive dealer" , "Prostitute" , "Illicit dealer (mainly US)" , "Aggressive seller" , "Swindler" .)
