Outline clothing label getting pallid - and then some? (10)
I believe the answer is:
profitable
'pallid and then some?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'outline clothing label' is the wordplay.
'outline' becomes 'profile' (I've seen this before).
'clothing' indicates putting letters inside (some letters cover up or clothe others).
'label' becomes 'tab' (I've seen this in another clue).
'profile' placed around 'tab' is 'PROFITABLE'.
'getting' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for profitable that I've seen before include "Cost-effective" , "Money-spinning" , "useful" , "offering good returns" , "Rewarding" .)
