Ordinary bloke initially escaping suspicion surrounding complete maverick (3,3,3)
I believe the answer is:
odd one out
'maverick' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'ordinary bloke initially escaping suspicion surrounding complete' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'ordinary' could be 'o' (abbreviation eg in O-Level, Ordinary Level) and 'o' is present in the answer.
'complete' could be 'done' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'done' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'dout' 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 odd one out that I've seen before include "Individualist" , "Thing or person contrasting with others" , "exception" , "Different individual" .)
