Drug dealer court put under house arrest! (6)
I believe the answer is:
doctor
'drug' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'dealer court put under house arrest' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'court' could be 'ct' (abbreviation used in road names) and 'ct' is found within the answer.
'house' could be 'door' (door is a kind of house) and 'door' is located in the remaining letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for doctor that I've seen before include "Licensed medical practitioner" , "Medical professional or university don" , "change" , "GP" , "Who perhaps" .)
