One with theories on behaviour carrying less weight, one to avoid (7)
I believe the answer is:
skinner
'one' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for skinner that I've seen before include "Dennis, the Beast of Bolsover" , "expert in hiding?" .)
