One increasing volume direct from procurer (8)
I believe the answer is:
expander
'one increasing volume direct' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'from procurer' is the wordplay.
'from' becomes 'ex' ('from' in Latin).
'procurer' becomes 'pander' (synonyms).
'ex'+'pander'='EXPANDER'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for expander that I've seen is " Muscle exerciser".)
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
