Cab for a foreign chap to order? (6)
I believe the answer is:
hansom
'cab' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'a foreign chap to order?' is the wordplay.
'a foreign chap' becomes 'hans' (I am not sure about the 'foreign' bit.).
'to order?' becomes 'om' (Order of Merit).
'hans'+'om'='HANSOM'
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hansom that I've seen before include "Two-wheeled one-horse carriage" , "Two-wheeled horse-drawn covered cab" , "Type of cab" , "Vehicle with back-seat driver" , "Victorian cab" .)
