Former postman, now resident abroad? (2-3)
I believe the answer is:
ex-pat
'resident abroad?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'former postman' is the wordplay.
'former' becomes 'ex' (prefix meaning former or onetime).
'postman' becomes 'pat' (children's TV character Postman Pat).
'ex'+'pat'='EX-PAT'
'now' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for ex-pat that I've seen is " Person living abroad".)
