Delinquent off colour? (5)
I believe the answer is:
crook
This clue might be a double definition.
'delinquent' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)
'colour?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.
'off' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for crook that I've seen before include "Shepherd's staff" , "Fence, perhaps" , "Bend; criminal; staff" , "Professional criminal" , "Something kinky" .)
