Artisan’s qualification and child (5)
I believe the answer is:
mason
'artisan's' is the definition.
(mason is a kind of artisan)
'qualification and child' is the wordplay.
'qualification' becomes 'ma' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'child' becomes 'son' (male child).
'ma'+'son'='MASON'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for mason that I've seen before include "member of charitable society" , "Stone carver" , "Dresser" , "A worker in stone - may be free" , "He works with stone - may be free" .)
