Charlie feeding writer German fare (9)
I believe the answer is:
passenger
'fare' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'charlie feeding writer german' is the wordplay.
'charlie' becomes 'ass' (I've seen this before).
'feeding' indicates putting letters inside.
'writer' becomes 'pen' (I've seen this before).
'german' becomes 'ger' (abbreviation).
'ass' inserted into 'pen' is 'passen'.
'passen'+'ger'='PASSENGER'
(Other definitions for passenger that I've seen before include "Rider" , "He's being taken for a ride" , "one transferred by coach, perhaps" , "not contributing to other people's efforts?" , "Traveller not driving" .)
