Conspiracy involving international jet-setter? (5)
I believe the answer is:
pilot
'jet-setter?' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'conspiracy involving international' is the wordplay.
'conspiracy' becomes 'plot' (a conspiracy is a secret plot).
'involving' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'international' becomes 'i' (abbreviation eg in IMF).
'plot' placed around 'i' is 'PILOT'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pilot that I've seen before include "Flier or helmsman" , "Plane flier" , "trial episode" , "Experimental scheme; flyer" , "Guide, flyer" .)
