Date supervisor found within open reach (9)
I believe the answer is:
chaperone
'date supervisor' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'within open reach' is the wordplay.
'open reach' anagrams to 'CHAPERONE'.
However, I'm unsure how this is indicated.
'found' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for chaperone that I've seen before include "attendant" , "Guardian" , "my charges are small" , "One overseeing" , "Companion" .)
