Chaps sure to be involved in shopping (9)
I believe the answer is:
purchases
'shopping' is the definition.
'chaps sure to be involved' is the wordplay.
'to be involved' indicates an anagram (involved can mean confusing or complex).
'chaps'+'sure'='chapssure'
'chapssure' is an anagram of 'PURCHASES'.
'in' is the link.
(Another definition for purchases that I've seen is " commodities".)
I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
