Bacon for one or a number, returned separately (5)
I believe the answer is:
roger
'bacon' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for roger that I've seen before include "Chap" , "Romeo's predecessor" , "Boy's name - received and understood" , "man, > I understand" , "R in telecommunications" .)
