Just like those tending to the sick in only tram working? (8)
I believe the answer is:
matronly
'just like those tending to the sick' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'only tram working?' is the wordplay.
'working?' indicates anagramming the letters.
'only'+'tram'='onlytram'
'onlytram' is an anagram of 'MATRONLY'.
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for matronly that I've seen before include "Like a dignified or staid woman" , "Like or suitable for staid married woman" , "staid and podgy?" , "staid and plumpish" , "like some women!" .)
