He hawks round an inexpensive item for motorists (9)
I believe the answer is:
cheapjack
'hawks round an inexpensive item for motorists' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'he' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'he' could be 'jack' and 'jack' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'cheap' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cheapjack that I've seen before include "inferior quality" , "Poor" .)
