Driver from west β heading that way? (7)
I believe the answer is:
wagoner
'driver' is the definition.
(I know that wagoner is a type of driver)
'from west heading that way?' is the wordplay.
'from' becomes 'agone' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'west' becomes 'W' (abbreviation).
'heading' says to put letters next to each other (some letters go in front of or head others).
'that way?' becomes 'R' (abbreviation for right).
'agone' put after 'w' is 'wagone'.
'wagone'+'r'='WAGONER'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for wagoner that I've seen before include "Carter" , "Driver of cart" .)
