Expert showing type of music skill that lacks force (10)
I believe the answer is:
technocrat
'expert' is the definition.
(I know that technocrat is a type of expert)
'type of music skill that lacks force' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is found in the answer.
'music' could be 'te' and 'te' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'showing' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for technocrat that I've seen before include "modern politician?" , "Scientist" , "Expert in government" , "Advocate of government by scientists" , "scientific expert" .)
