One caught getting hugged by tender person in the military? (7)
I believe the answer is:
officer
'person in the military?' is the definition.
'officer' can be an answer for 'person' (officer is a kind of person). I'm unsure of the 'in the military?' bit.
'one caught getting hugged by tender' is the wordplay.
'one caught getting' becomes 'ic' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'hugged by' indicates putting letters inside (I've seen this in other clues).
'tender' becomes 'offer' (synonyms).
'ic' put within 'offer' is 'OFFICER'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for officer that I've seen before include "9 across" , "Person with commission in armed services" , "Person holding authoritative position" , "'An ... and a Gentleman, film (7)'" , "Possibly general" .)
