Lawyer for Boomers backs legal intervention (9)
I believe the answer is:
solicitor
'lawyer' is the definition.
(I know that lawyer can be written as solicitor)
'boomers backs legal intervention' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'legal' could be 'licit' (similar in meaning) and 'licit' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for solicitor that I've seen before include "Law practitioner" , "Type of lawyer" , "Lawyer who advises clients and briefs barristers" , "Will composer" , "court officer" .)
