Is one sly-looking gent with pipe, wayward old male? (7,3)
I believe the answer is:
peeping tom
'is one sly-looking' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'gent with pipe wayward old male?' is the wordplay.
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'wayward' indicates anagramming the letters (wayward means out of control or chaotic).
'old' becomes 'o' (abbreviation).
'male?' becomes 'm' (common abbreviation).
'gent'+'pipe'='gentpipe'
'gentpipe' is an anagram of 'peepingt'.
'peepingt'+'o'+'m'='PEEPING TOM'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for peeping tom that I've seen before include "Spy" , "One who spies pruriently on others" , "who likes looking at females" , "Voyeur" .)
