Forecaster's keeping dry in the sun? (6)
I believe the answer is:
setter
'the sun?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.
'forecaster's keeping dry' is the wordplay.
'forecaster' becomes 'seer' (someone who sees the future).
'keeping' is an insertion indicator (some letters kept inside).
'dry' becomes 'tt' (abbreviation for teetotal).
'seer' enclosing 'tt' is 'SETTER'.
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for setter that I've seen before include "Dog trained to scent game" , "Breed of gun dog" , "Dog found in street" , "One barking" , "Canine" .)
