Interpreter say needed in late summer abroad? (7)
I believe the answer is:
exegete
'interpreter' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'say needed in late summer abroad?' is the wordplay.
'say' becomes 'eg'.
'needed in' is an insertion indicator.
'late' becomes 'ex'.
'summer abroad?' becomes 'ete' (').
'ex'+'ete'='exete'
'eg' placed into 'exete' is 'EXEGETE'.
(Other definitions for exegete that I've seen before include "commentator" , "Interpreter of scripture" , "scriptural interpreter" .)
