Note dinners thrown together for one that can’t stay (3-8)
I believe the answer is:
non-resident
'together for one that can't stay' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.
'note dinners thrown' is the wordplay.
'thrown' indicates anagramming the letters.
'note'+'dinners'='notedinners'
'notedinners' anagrammed gives 'NON-RESIDENT'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for non-resident that I've seen is " Not living in a particular place".)
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
