Man referencing extraction (9)
I believe the answer is:
eliciting
'man referencing extraction' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'man referencing' is the wordplay.
'man' becomes 'Eli' (I've seen this before).
'referencing' becomes 'citing' ('cite' can be a synonym of 'reference').
'eli'+'citing'='ELICITING'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for eliciting that I've seen is " Drawing out (something)".)
I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
