At home when the gentleman comes round: a politician (8)
I believe the answer is:
minister
'politician' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'at home when the gentleman comes round a' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'at' could be 'in' (synonymous in some cases - eg at school, in school) and 'in' is located in the answer.
'when' could be 'e' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'e' is found in the answer.
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for minister that I've seen before include "Churchman" , "Parson" , "parliamentarian" , "Head of a government department" , "Holder of office in government or church" .)
