Enchanting type hurt in church beside river (7)
I believe the answer is:
charmer
'enchanting type' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'hurt in church beside river' is the wordplay.
'hurt' becomes 'harm' (synonyms).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'church' becomes 'CE' (abbreviation for Church of England).
'beside' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (I've seen this in other clues).
'river' becomes 'r' (abbreviation).
'harm' going within 'ce' is 'charme'.
'charme'+'r'='CHARMER'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for charmer that I've seen before include "Highly attractive person" , "See 6" , "Lothario?" , "One with personal attractiveness" , "relied on for a spell?" .)
