Fitting person to follow tinker? (6)
I believe the answer is:
tailor
'fitting person' is the definition.
'tailor' can be an answer for 'person' (tailor is a kind of person). I am unsure of the 'fitting' bit.
'follow tinker?' is the wordplay.
'follow' becomes 'tail' (both can mean to chase or pursue).
'tinker?' becomes 'or' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'tail'+'or'='TAILOR'
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tailor that I've seen before include "Maker of clothes, men's mostly" , "Fit" , "One makes fitted clothes" , "Person who cuts clothes" , "person before soldier and sailor in list" .)
