One provocatively removing weeds? (8)
I believe the answer is:
stripper
'one' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how they can define each other.
'provocatively removing weeds?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'weeds?' could be 'strip' (weeds is a kind of strip) and 'strip' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'per' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for stripper that I've seen before include "One barely entertains" , "She barely finishes" , "performer barely seen" , "Erotic dancer" , "exotic entertainer" .)
