Chaucerian pilgrim finished interrupting Father and Bishop (8)
I believe the answer is:
pardoner
'chaucerian pilgrim' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'finished interrupting father and bishop' is the wordplay.
'finished' becomes 'done' (similar in meaning).
'interrupting' is an insertion indicator.
'father' becomes 'pa' (pa can mean dad or father).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'bishop' becomes 'rr' (abbreviation for Right Reverend).
'pa'+'rr'='parr'
'done' put within 'parr' is 'PARDONER'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pardoner that I've seen before include "He brought traveller's tale" , "indulgent pilgrim?" , "tale-teller?" , "Seller of papal indulgences; The --'s Tale (Chaucer)" , "who goes further than commuter?" .)
