Cash offer allowed to be switched (11)
I believe the answer is:
legaltender
'cash' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'offer allowed to be switched' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'offer' could be 'tender' (tender can mean to offer something) and 'tender' is found within the answer.
'allowed' could be 'legal' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'legal' is present in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
