Homeless tile fitter for whom living is a daily grind? (6)
I believe the answer is:
miller
'homeless tile fitter' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'living is a daily grind?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'grind?' could be 'mill' (milling is a kind of grinding) and 'mill' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'er' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'for whom' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for miller that I've seen before include "one in tale" , "grinding task for him" , "[PILGRIM in the CANTERBURY TALES]" , "His salesman died" , "Grain-grinder" .)
