I can’t fit in a clue for “amount” (3,3,3)
I believe the answer is:
odd man out
'i can't fit in a clue' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'amount' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
an anagram of 'amount' is 'manout' which is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'odd' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for odd man out that I've seen before include "Nonconformist" , "Something not fitting in" , "Atypical or unconventional person" , "film starring James Mason" , "Misfit, does not blend into group" .)
