Female getting wind after car abandoned outside? (7,6)
I believe the answer is:
traffic warden
'outside?' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'female getting wind after car abandoned' is the wordplay.
'female' becomes 'f' (abbreviation).
'getting' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'abandoned' indicates an anagram.
'wind'+'after'+'car'='windaftercar'
'f' after 'windaftercar' is 'windaftercarf'.
'windaftercarf' with letters rearranged gives 'TRAFFIC WARDEN'.
(Other definitions for traffic warden that I've seen before include "Assistant to police on road" , "Parking official" , "Meter maid, perhaps" , "Parking meter attendant" , "Issuer of parking tickets" .)
