Medical assistant for consultant on many cases (6)
I believe the answer is:
watson
'medical assistant for consultant on many cases' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'medical assistant for consultant on' is the wordplay.
'medical assistant for consultant' becomes 'wats' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'wats'+'on'='WATSON'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for watson that I've seen before include "Holmes' associate" , "Sherlock Holmes's doctor buddy" , "Sherlock Holmes's doctor companion" , "Sherlock Holmes's 2 Down" , "Companion to 15 ac" .)
