Musical right for workman (7)
I believe the answer is:
greaser
'workman' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'musical right' is the wordplay.
'musical' becomes 'grease' (Grease is a film musical).
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'grease'+'r'='GREASER'
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for greaser that I've seen before include "Mechanic - sycophant" , "Young motorcyclist" , "(Unskilled) mechanic" , "An unctuous individual" , "Ship's engineer; motor mechanic" .)
