Operation privy to pocketing one or two-pennyworth? (7)
I believe the answer is:
opinion
'two-pennyworth?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'operation privy to pocketing one' is the wordplay.
'operation' becomes 'op'.
'privy to' becomes 'in on' (I've seen this before).
'pocketing' means one lot of letters goes inside another (pocket can mean to steal or take possession of).
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'inon' going around 'i' is 'inion'.
'op'+'inion'='OPINION'
'or' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for opinion that I've seen before include "Personal belief or judgment" , "View, barrister's advice" , "Belief not founded on proof or certainty" , "impression" , "Belief or conviction" .)
