Party note resistance of one of the workers (8)
I believe the answer is:
labourer
'one of the workers' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.
'party note resistance of' is the wordplay.
'party' becomes 'labour' (Labour Party is an example).
'note' becomes 'e' (musical note).
'resistance of' becomes 'r' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'labour'+'e'+'r'='LABOURER'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for labourer that I've seen before include "Farmhand" , "One does heavy physical work" , "Unskilled worker" , "Manual worker" , "He is said to be worthy of his hire" .)
