Lover who swam out of area, one generating interest? (6)
I believe the answer is:
lender
This might be a double definition.
'lover who swam out of area' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'one generating interest?' is the second definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lender that I've seen before include "One making advances" , "Syrup-yielding tree" , "He makes a loan" , "Neither a borrower nor a ... be, it's said" , "Bank or building society" .)
