Checker with Guardian back catalogues? (7)
I believe the answer is:
draught
'back catalogues?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'checker with guardian' is the wordplay.
'DRAUGHT' is hidden backwards in amongst the letters.
But, I am uncertain how this is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for draught that I've seen before include "man that may be crowned" , "One short of cash feels this" , "(Of beer) sold from the cask" , "Water depth; served from a cask" , "netted fish" .)
