Gives one the job of getting the particulars? (7)
I believe the answer is:
details
'particulars?' is the definition.
('detail' can be a synonym of 'particular')
'gives one the job of getting' is the wordplay.
'gives' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'giving' mean this (the letters give the letters for another word)).
'one' becomes 'a' (a thing is one thing).
'the' becomes 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects).
'job of' becomes 'deils' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'getting' is an insertion indicator.
'a'+'t'='at'
'at' anagrammed gives 'ta'.
'ta' placed into 'deils' is 'DETAILS'.
'the' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for details that I've seen before include "Particulars, small parts" , "Small features" , "Minutiae" .)
