I work on ways to secure hair - legendary work, we hear (9)
I believe the answer is:
locksmith
'i work' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how they can define each other.
'ways to secure hair legendary work we hear' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'secure' could be 'lock' (locking is a kind of securing) and 'lock' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'smith' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'on' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for locksmith that I've seen before include "Maker of security devices" , "Yale scholar" , "Maker of secure fasteners" , "Security device maker" , "laughing stock" .)
