Meet knight in English bar (9)
I believe the answer is:
encounter
'meet' is the definition.
(I know that meet can be written as encounter)
'knight in english bar' is the wordplay.
'knight' becomes 'N' (chess abbreviation).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'english' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'bar' becomes 'counter' (I've seen this before).
'e'+'counter'='ecounter'
'n' put within 'ecounter' is 'ENCOUNTER'.
(Other definitions for encounter that I've seen before include "Come accross, meet (9)" , "Come upon, meet" , "See 19" , "Meet by chance with encore nut" , "battle" .)
