Nearer to being a breadwinner? (6)
I believe the answer is:
earner
'a breadwinner?' is the definition.
(breadwinner is a kind of earner)
'nearer to' is the wordplay.
'nearer' can be anagrammed to 'EARNER'.
But, I'm not sure how this is indicated.
'being' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for earner that I've seen before include "Person bringing in" , "One receiving income (for work)" , "lucrative job" , "Something making a good profit (colloq.)" , "Someone who receives wages in return for labour" .)
