Large person bringing home bacon for schoolboy? (7)
I believe the answer is:
learner
'schoolboy?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'large person bringing home bacon' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'large' could be 'l' (eg in clothes sizes) and 'l' is located in the answer.
'person' could be 'rn' (RN is an example) and 'rn' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for learner that I've seen before include "Trainee (driver)" , "Disciple" , "10 [STUDENT], possibly 11 [BOOKISH]" , "One who studies" , "Student (of driving?)" .)
