Lawyer on mountain, makes about turn seeing American ticket tout (7)
I believe the answer is:
scalper
'turn seeing american ticket tout' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'lawyer on mountain makes about' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'mountain' could be 'alp' (the Alps are a mountain range) and 'alp' is present in the answer.
'about' could be 'c' (abbreviation for circa) and 'c' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'ser' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
