Common name for an artisan (5)
I believe the answer is:
smith
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'common name' is the first definition.
(Smith is a common surname)
'an artisan' is the second definition.
(I know that smith is a type of metalworker)
'for' is the link.
(Other definitions for smith that I've seen before include "Shoemaker" , "Adam, economist" , "Worker in metals" , "Metal-worker" , "Metal worker" .)
