Frank is no fibber (6)
I believe the answer is:
honest
'frank' is the definition.
('honest' can be similar in meaning to 'frank')
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for honest that I've seen before include "Truthful and dependable" , "Free of deceit, truthful by nature" , "Truthful in manner" , "Free of deceit and lies - truly!" , "'Fair-dealing, upright (6)'" .)
