Bank on compiler showing special talent (6)
I believe the answer is:
metier
'special talent' is the definition.
'metier' can be an answer for 'talent' (thesaurus). I am unsure of the 'special' bit.
'bank on compiler' is the wordplay.
'bank' becomes 'tier' (both can mean a row of similar things).
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'compiler' becomes 'me' (the person who is writing these clues).
'tier' after 'me' is 'METIER'.
'showing' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for metier that I've seen before include "job" , "One's calling or business" , "Occupation - speciality" , "That at which one excels, one's forte" , "Field of activity, what one does best" .)
