Commercial provider of jazz to royalty? (6)
I believe the answer is:
trader
'commercial provider' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'jazz to royalty?' is the wordplay.
'jazz' becomes 'trad' (trad jazz is a type of jazz).
'to royalty?' becomes 'er' (abbreviation for Elizabeth Regina).
'trad'+'er'='TRADER'
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for trader that I've seen before include "Tarred like merchant" , "Retard (anag.)" , "One selling" , "Merchant ship; dealer" , "He buys and sells goods" .)
