Effusive greeting from happy worker (4,4)
I believe the answer is:
glad hand
'effusive greeting' is the definition.
'glad hand' can be an answer for 'greeting' (glad hand is a kind of greeting). I'm not certain of the 'effusive' bit.
'happy worker' is the wordplay.
'happy' becomes 'glad' (synonyms).
'worker' becomes 'hand' (hand is a kind of worker).
'glad'+'hand'='GLAD-HAND'
'from' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for glad hand that I've seen is " effusive welcome".)
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
