Appropriate procedure before buying a suit? (7)
I believe the answer is:
fitting
'appropriate procedure' is the definition.
'fitting' can be an answer for 'appropriate' (I've seen this before). I am unsure of the 'procedure' bit.
'before buying a suit?' is the wordplay.
'before' says to put letters next to each other.
'buying' becomes 'ting' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'a suit?' becomes 'fit' (I've seen this before).
'ting' put after 'fit' is 'FITTING'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for fitting that I've seen before include "Apt" , "Seemly" , "reason for appointment with tailor" , "Appropriate, proper" , "Suitable, proper" .)
