Catch a US fraudster burying domestic engineer? (8)
I believe the answer is:
hausfrau
'domestic engineer?' is the definition.
(term for a German housewife)
'catch a us fraudster burying' is the wordplay.
'burying' says the answer is hidden in the clue (the answer is buried within the clue).
'HAUSFRAU' is hidden within 'catch a us fraudster'.
(Other definitions for hausfrau that I've seen before include "Bonn homemaker" , "A German married woman working in the home" , "(For a German) 'er indoors" , "wife at home" .)
