Occupation accustomed to everyday shocks and sometimes severe cutbacks? (12)
I believe the answer is:
hairdressing
'occupation' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how one could define the other.
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
