English books missing from enticing job for decorator (5)
I believe the answer is:
icing
'decorator' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.
'english books missing from enticing job' is the wordplay.
'ICING' is hidden within the letters.
However, I am uncertain how this is indicated.
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for icing that I've seen before include "The sweetest part of the cake" , "that finishes off 29 [ANGEL CAKE]" , "Freezing" , "Sweet cake topping" , "East European nation" .)
