Carry On comedian and the end of the oeuvre (4)
I believe the answer is:
wage
'icarry oni' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'comedian and the end of the oeuvre' is the wordplay.
'comedian' becomes 'wag' (I've seen this before).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'the end of' suggests the final letters.
The last letter of 'oeuvre' is 'e'.
'wag'+'e'='WAGE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for wage that I've seen before include "Pursue" , "conduct" , "Pay (enough to live on?)" , "Regular payment for work" , "Carry on - remuneration" .)
