Doctor's order almost received by another doctor (6)
I believe the answer is:
medico
'doctor's' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'order almost received by another doctor' is the wordplay.
'order' becomes 'edict' (synonyms).
'almost' means to remove the last letter (most of the word but not all of it).
'received by' is an insertion indicator.
'another doctor' becomes 'mo' (medical officer. I am not sure about the 'another' bit.).
'edict' with its final letter taken off is 'edic'.
'edic' placed inside 'mo' is 'MEDICO'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for medico that I've seen before include "quack" , "Doctor" , "Health practitioner" .)
