Cope with lawyers seeing moustache (9)
I believe the answer is:
handlebar
'moustache' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.
'cope with lawyers' is the wordplay.
'cope with' becomes 'handle' (I've seen this in another clue).
'lawyers' becomes 'bar' (the bar can mean the legal profession).
'handle'+'bar'='HANDLEBAR'
'seeing' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for handlebar that I've seen before include "part of a cycle" , "Whiskers?" , "Type of moustache - on bicycle" , "Upwardly curled facial growth" , "Kind of moustache (for a cyclist?)" .)
