English at home always — waiting for one to come? (8)
I believe the answer is:
engineer
'waiting for one to come?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'english at home always' is the wordplay.
'english' becomes 'eng' (abbreviation).
'at home' becomes 'in' ('I'm in' can mean 'I'm at home').
'always' becomes 'eer' (poetic way of saying ever).
'eng'+'in'+'eer'='ENGINEER'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for engineer that I've seen before include "Person who uses scientific knowledge to solve practical problems" , "Deviser" , "Train driver, say" , "Person in charge of building bridges, etc." , "One who designs/builds" .)
