Initially a pensioner (3)
I believe the answer is:
oap
'pensioner' is the definition.
(old age pensioner)
'initially a' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'a' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'op' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for oap that I've seen is " senior citizen".)
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
