New tutor is a grumpy woman (5)
I believe the answer is:
trout
'a grumpy woman' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.
'new tutor' is the wordplay.
'new' indicates anagramming the letters.
'tutor' anagrammed gives 'TROUT'.
'is' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for trout that I've seen before include "Irritating old person" , "Fish (associated with Schubert?)" , "Catch" , "one of a noted quintet" , "Tasty fish, brown or rainbow" .)
