His play won't earn him money (7)
I believe the answer is:
amateur
This might be a double definition.
'his' is the first definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.
'play won't earn him money' is the second definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for amateur that I've seen before include "Unpaid or unskilled" , "enthusiast" , "One is not professional" , "Inept, non-professional" , "Person who does something as a pastime rather than a profession" .)
