Footing cost up front (poor, taking on overdraft), touring Hawaii (9)
I believe the answer is:
chiropody
'footing cost' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.
'up front poor taking on overdraft touring hawaii' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
an anagram of 'poor' is 'ropo' which is located in the answer.
'hawaii' could be 'hi' (US postal abbreviation) and 'hi' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for chiropody that I've seen before include "Treatment of corns, etc." , "The treatment of feet ailments" , "Foot treatment" .)
