Clear tenure, am able to work with numbers (8)
I believe the answer is:
numerate
'clear' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'tenure am able to work with numbers' is the wordplay.
'tenure am' can be anagrammed to 'NUMERATE'.
Though, I'm not clear how this is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for numerate that I've seen before include "Can reckon" , "Good at maths and science" , "Capable of understanding mathematics" , "Tear menu (anag.)" , "Able to count, work with figures" .)
