More stout left for pick-up by pint-puller? (7)
I believe the answer is:
plumper
'more stout' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'left for pick-up by pint-puller?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'left' could be 'l' (common abbreviation) and 'l' is located in the answer.
'by' could be 'per' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'per' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for plumper that I've seen before include "more stout" , "One choosing" , "Fuller and rounder" .)
