Director is owed money (8)
I believe the answer is:
creditor
'owed money' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how they can define each other.
'director' is the wordplay.
'director' anagrams to 'CREDITOR'.
However, I am unsure how this is indicated.
'is' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for creditor that I've seen before include "One who's owed money" , "recipient of money" , "The one to whom debt is due" , "Person owed money by director" , "He's the one owed the money" .)
