Former lover with gentle touch who's moved away (5)
I believe the answer is:
expat
'moved away' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'former lover with gentle touch' is the wordplay.
'former lover' becomes 'ex' (an ex-lover).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'gentle touch' becomes 'pat' (I've seen this in another clue).
'ex'+'pat'='EXPAT'
'who's' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for expat that I've seen before include "one working abroad" , "Degrade" , "One living in foreign country" , "overseas settler" , "Emigre" .)
