Give money to Man in Intricate Pattern, Ian (7)
I believe the answer is:
paisley
'intricate pattern ian' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'give money to man in' is the wordplay.
'give money' becomes 'pay' (paying someone is giving them money).
'to man' becomes 'isle' (I've seen this before).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'pay' enclosing 'isle' is 'PAISLEY'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for paisley that I've seen before include "Scottish fabric pattern" , "Patterned textile originating in a Scottish town" , "Colourful pattern of the northern politician" , "Ian, politician or kind of pattern" , "Patterned fabric" .)
