Parisian idler displaying expensive coat around alley (7)
I believe the answer is:
flaneur
'parisian idler' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'expensive coat around alley' is the wordplay.
'expensive coat' becomes 'fur' (I've seen this in another clue).
'around' is an insertion indicator.
'alley' becomes 'lane' (I've seen this in another clue).
'fur' placed around 'lane' is 'FLANEUR'.
'displaying' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for flaneur that I've seen before include "I stroll about" , "Man with much spare time" .)
