Labourer gets loud during garret conversion (7)
I believe the answer is:
grafter
'labourer' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'loud during garret conversion' is the wordplay.
'loud' becomes 'f' (short for forte - 'loud' in music).
'during' is an insertion indicator.
'conversion' indicates anagramming the letters.
'garret' with letters rearranged gives 'grater'.
'f' placed into 'grater' is 'GRAFTER'.
'gets' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for grafter that I've seen before include "One who works hard" , "Hard worker - corrupt operator" .)
