Foreman put right after blunder (6)
I believe the answer is:
gaffer
'foreman' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'right after blunder' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'right' could be 'r' (common abbreviation) and 'r' is found within the answer.
'blunder' could be 'gaffe' (gaffe is a kind of blunder) and 'gaffe' is found within the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'put' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for gaffer that I've seen before include "Informal boss or foreman" , "Boss, overseer" , "Chief electrician on a film set" , "one prone to blunder socially?" , "Informally, a boss or foreman" .)
