Craftsman representing two generations (5)
I believe the answer is:
mason
'craftsman' is the definition.
(mason is a kind of craftsman)
'representing two generations' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'representing' could be 'as' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'as' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'mon' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for mason that I've seen before include "US comedian" , "Actor James" , "Dresser" , "Secret society member" , "One going to work in building" .)
