Is he perhaps out to be eccentric? (3,3)
I believe the answer is:
odd man
'is' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.
'he perhaps out to be eccentric?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'he' could be 'man' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'man' is found within the answer.
'eccentric?' could be 'odd' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'odd' is present in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
