One facing charges back in courtroom, somewhat content to work (7)
I believe the answer is:
matador
'one facing charges' is the definition.
(a matador is charged at by bulls)
'back in courtroom somewhat content to work' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'content' could be 'mat' (MAT is an example) and 'mat' is found in the answer.
'work' could be 'do' (synonyms) and 'do' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ar' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for matador that I've seen before include "Beastly fighting man" , "who does for bulls" , "One in the ring" , "A bull-fighter.11 Beginning to develop" , "Ring butcher" .)
