Enthralling work of engineer? (8)
I believe the answer is:
riveting
'enthralling' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'work of engineer?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'work' could be 'vet' (vetting is a kind of working) and 'vet' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for riveting that I've seen before include "Completely engrossing" , "Holding attention" , "Fascinating, fixing the attention" , "Gripping - securing with metal pins" , "metalwork" .)
