Dodgy financier rues providing such cover (4,9)
I believe the answer is:
fire insurance
'such cover' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.
'dodgy financier rues' is the wordplay.
'dodgy' is an anagram indicator (a dodgy or wrong order of the letters).
'financier'+'rues'='financierrues'
'financierrues' anagrammed gives 'FIRE-INSURANCE'.
'providing' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
