Copper allowed to grab last of meat chop (6)
I believe the answer is:
cutlet
'meat chop' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'copper allowed to grab last' is the wordplay.
'copper' becomes 'Cu' (chemical symbol).
'allowed to' becomes 'let' (to let something happen is to allow it).
'grab' indicates putting letters inside.
'last' becomes 't' (I've seen this in other clues).
'cu'+'let'='culet'
'culet' enclosing 't' is 'CUTLET'.
'of' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for cutlet that I've seen before include "Small piece of meat from neck or ribs" , "Eg, a lamb chop" , "Small piece of meat with bone attached" , "Lamb or veal chop from behind the neck" , "Piece of rib with its meat" .)
