Lacking mobility and out of a job (8)
I believe the answer is:
anchored
'lacking mobility and out of a job' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'and out of a job' is the wordplay.
'out of' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'a job' becomes 'chore' ('chore' can be a synonym of 'job').
'and' going around 'chore' is 'ANCHORED'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for anchored that I've seen before include "Made fast, secured" , "Fixed firmly and securely" , "firmly secured in position" , "With weight down, stuck in bed" , "unable to move" .)
