Article about holidaymaker spurning old stripper (8)
I believe the answer is:
naturist
'stripper' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'article about holidaymaker spurning old' is the wordplay.
'article about' becomes 'na' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'holidaymaker' becomes 'tourist' (synonyms).
'spurning' is a deletion indicator.
'old' becomes 'o' (common abbreviation eg in OE for Old English).
'tourist' with 'o' removed is 'turist'.
'na'+'turist'='NATURIST'
Can you help me to learn more?
