Henry, shoe repairer not opening for one with a limp (7)
I believe the answer is:
hobbler
'one with a limp' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'henry shoe repairer not opening' is the wordplay.
'henry' becomes 'H' (symbol for the unit of electrical inductance).
'shoe repairer' becomes 'cobbler' (I've seen this before).
'not opening' means to remove the first letter (the opening letter is removed).
'cobbler' with its first letter taken away is 'obbler'.
'h'+'obbler'='HOBBLER'
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
