Colonist wired Dvorak, for one (5)
I believe the answer is:
anton
'colonist' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'wired dvorak for one' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'for' could be 'to' (eg both can mean 'in the opinion of') and 'to' is located in the answer.
'dvorak' could be 'ann' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'ann' is found within the leftover letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for anton that I've seen before include "Boy" , "Chekhov, say" , "- Chekhov, playwright" , "man" , "-- Bruckner, composer" .)
