Lucky thing for a masterly clansman? (6)
I believe the answer is:
mascot
This could be a double definition.
'lucky thing' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'masterly clansman?' is the second definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'for a' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for mascot that I've seen before include "Team's lucky person/thing" , "Thing believed to bring good luck to its owner or team" , "Something bringing luck" , "Thing believed to bring good luck, perhaps to team" , "Thing supposed to bring good luck" .)
