English chaps senior policeman puts right (6)
I believe the answer is:
emends
'puts right' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'english chaps senior policeman' is the wordplay.
'english' becomes 'E' (abbreviation).
'chaps' becomes 'men' (chap means a man).
'senior policeman' becomes 'ds' (abbreviation for Detective Sergeant. I am not sure about the 'senior' bit.).
'e'+'men'+'ds'='EMENDS'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for emends that I've seen before include "Corrects and improves the text" , "Changes" , "Makes improvements or corrections" , "Revises" , "Makes corrections in written material" .)
