Lawyer sent up to Macbeth? (4)
I believe the answer is:
scot
'lawyer' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'sent up to macbeth?' is the wordplay.
'sent up' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'macbeth?' becomes 'cs' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'to'+'cs'='tocs'
'tocs' backwards is 'SCOT'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for scot that I've seen before include "Native of country of the UK" , "levy, once" , "Tax, Glasgow native" , "Eg, Edinburgh native" , "Stevenson was one" .)
