Enduring exercises with chap in charge (9)
I believe the answer is:
permanent
'enduring' is the definition.
('permanent' can be similar in meaning to 'enduring')
'exercises with chap in charge' is the wordplay.
'exercises' becomes 'pe'.
'with' is an insertion indicator.
'chap in' becomes 'man' (I've seen this before. I am not sure about the 'in' bit.**).
'charge' becomes 'rent' (I've seen this in other clues).
'man' going into 'rent' is 'rmanent'.
'pe'+'rmanent'='PERMANENT'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for permanent that I've seen before include "Lasting; not temporary" , "Lasting indefinitely" , "Lasting, durable" , "This way for the track" , "Everlasting" .)
