Any word, in a manner of speaking from Oliver? (6)
I believe the answer is:
orphan
'oliver?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'any word in a manner of speaking' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'a' could be 'an' and 'an' is present in the answer.
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'from' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for orphan that I've seen before include "child all alone" , "One without mother or father" , "One with dead parents" , "One standing alone" , "Bereaved child" .)
