One getting 2p? (6)
I believe the answer is:
copper
'one getting' is the definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.
'2p?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'2p?' could be 'p' and 'p' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'coper' 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 copper that I've seen before include "Daily Beast proprietor" , "Metallic element for a British policeman" , "Reddish metal of a penny" , "peeler" , "bluebottle" .)
