Fool twice by means of offer? (8)
I believe the answer is:
assassin
'offer?' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'fool twice by means' is the wordplay.
'fool' becomes 'ass' (both can mean a stupid person).
'twice' shows that letters should be duplicated.
'by means' becomes 'in' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'ass' duplicated is 'assass'.
'assass'+'in'='ASSASSIN'
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for assassin that I've seen before include "One making hits" , "Asians SS? (Anag)" , "Booth, for example" , "Bravo!" , "Killer of prominent figure" .)
