Fraud? It ordinarily entertains such a professional (7)
I believe the answer is:
auditor
'a professional' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'fraud? it ordinarily entertains' is the wordplay.
'entertains' says the answer is hidden in the clue (the answer is welcomed or entertained by the clue).
'AUDITOR' is hidden within 'fraud it ordinarily'.
'such' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for auditor that I've seen before include "one goes over watchfully" , "Person checking business accounts" , "Finance officer" , "One inspects the accounts" , "I hear" .)
