Fine to wear, when cooking, is it apt, chef? (2,3,3,4)
I believe the answer is:
if the cap fits
'fine to wear' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'when cooking is it apt chef?' is the wordplay.
'when' becomes 'if'.
'cooking' indicates an anagram (cook can mean to falsify or distort).
'it' becomes ''t' (abbreviation. e.g. in 'tis).
'is'+'t'+'apt'+'chef'='istaptchef'
'istaptchef' is an anagram of 'thecapfits'.
'if'+'thecapfits'='IF THE CAP FITS'
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
