Heavenly way of working to get ahead (4)
I believe the answer is:
moon
'heavenly way' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how they can define each other.
'of working to get ahead' is the wordplay.
'of' becomes 'o''.
'working' becomes 'on' (on can mean working or activated).
'to' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (I've seen this in other clues).
'get ahead' becomes 'm' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'o'+'on'='oon'
'oon' after 'm' is 'MOON'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for moon that I've seen before include "Reveal rear" , "down one's pants" , "Daydream - Europa of Jupiter, say" , "Appear listless" , "Expose one's buttocks" .)
