Argumentative type, one of eight in crew? (5)
I believe the answer is:
rower
This clue might be a double definition.
'argumentative type' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'one of eight in crew?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how they can define each other.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rower that I've seen before include "Perhaps stroke" , "Sportsperson" , "Might one argue" , "Oarsman/woman" , "Waterman" .)
