Browning fan’s newspaper article accepted by poet, unfinished (9)
I believe the answer is:
sunbather
'browning fan's newspaper article accepted by poet unfinished' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'newspaper article accepted by poet unfinished' is the wordplay.
'newspaper' becomes 'sun' (UK newspaper The Sun).
'article' becomes 'the' (the definite article in English).
'accepted by' is an insertion indicator (inserted letters are accepted).
'poet' becomes 'bard' (bard is a kind of poet).
'unfinished' means to remove the last letter.
'bard' with its final letter taken off is 'bar'.
'the' placed inside 'bar' is 'bather'.
'sun'+'bather'='SUNBATHER'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sunbather that I've seen before include "One trying to get brown" , "Loafer on the beach" , "One enjoying holiday" , "One hoping for a tan" , "Tanner" .)
