I'm returning the box sent round by the shopkeeper (7)
I believe the answer is:
chemist
'the shopkeeper' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'i'm returning the box sent round' is the wordplay.
'returning' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'the box' becomes 'chest' (chest is a kind of box).
'sent round' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'im' written backwards gives 'mi'.
'mi' inserted inside 'chest' is 'CHEMIST'.
'by' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for chemist that I've seen before include "Drug seller" , "Shop for drugs" , "Drug dispenser" , "Dispensing shop" , "Employee in pharmacy" .)
