Give slip to worker wandering around (6)
I believe the answer is:
errant
'wandering around' is the definition.
'errant' can be an answer for 'wandering' (I've seen this before). I am not certain of the 'around' bit.
'give slip to worker' is the wordplay.
'give' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'slip' becomes 'err' (to err is to make an error).
'to worker' becomes 'ant' (worker is a type of ant).
'err' next to 'ant' is 'ERRANT'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for errant that I've seen before include "like Don Quixote?" , "Wandering (as a knight?)" , "Off the mark, wandering" , "Offending" , "Nomadic" .)
