Kitty gets kettle for commercial work (9)
I believe the answer is:
potboiler
'commercial work' is the definition.
'potboiler' can be an answer for 'work' (I have seen 'hasty work' mean 'potboiler' so perhaps 'work' could also mean 'potboiler'). I'm unsure of the 'commercial' bit.
'kitty gets kettle' is the wordplay.
'kitty' becomes 'pot' (both can mean a shared fund).
'gets' says to put letters next to each other.
'kettle' becomes 'boiler' (synonyms).
'pot'+'boiler'='POTBOILER'
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for potboiler that I've seen before include "Book, film, etc, produced just for the money" , "Nice little earner" , "Moneymaking work" , "Work of literature produced just to make money" , "Book written just for the money" .)
