I deploy nerve and wit in encounter with Beth Rigby? (9)
I believe the answer is:
interview
'encounter with beth rigby?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'i deploy nerve and wit' is the wordplay.
'deploy' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'deploying' mean this).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'nerve' after 'wit' is 'witnerve'.
'witnerve' is an anagram of 'nterview'.
'i'+'nterview'='INTERVIEW'
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for interview that I've seen before include "to ask questions" , "Formal discussion with a job applicant" , "encounter" , "Formal discussion with job seeker" , "official meeting" .)
