Name the commanding officer's way of working (5)
I believe the answer is:
cosmo
'name' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'commanding officer's way of working' is the wordplay.
'commanding officer's' becomes 'co's'.
'way of working' becomes 'mo' (modus operandi).
'cos'+'mo'='COSMO'
'the' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cosmo that I've seen before include "- Lang, Archbishop of Canterbury nineteen twenty eight to nineteen forty two" , "Fellow" , "One of Florence's Medici rulers" .)
