Character with identity remitted hot money, cash used in Argos? (8)
I believe the answer is:
didrachm
'remitted hot money cash used in argos?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'character with identity' is the wordplay.
'character' becomes 'drachm' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'with' indicates putting letters inside.
'identity' becomes 'id' (abbreviation).
'drachm' going around 'id' is 'DIDRACHM'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Times.
