Character on staff who clearly has aptitude for job? (7)
I believe the answer is:
natural
'character on staff who clearly has aptitude for job?' is the definition.
'natural' can be an answer for 'character' (thesaurus). I'm not sure about the remainder of the definition.
'character on staff who clearly' is the wordplay.
'character' becomes 'l'.
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'staff who clearly' becomes 'natura' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'l' put after 'natura' is 'NATURAL'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for natural that I've seen before include "Sign on staff" , "Unaffected; off-white" , "Not synthetic or man-made" , "Artless, unaffected," , "Unaffected - musical note" .)
