Giver of advice to a fine end? (7)
I believe the answer is:
tipster
'giver' 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?
'advice to a fine end?' is the wordplay.
'advice' becomes 'tip' (a tip is a piece of advice).
'to a fine end?' becomes 'ster' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'tip'+'ster'='TIPSTER'
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tipster that I've seen before include "Seller of information on racecourse etc" , "Adviser on betting" , "Seller of inside information" , "Supposed expert on horses" , "Gambling advisor" .)
