Person unable to settle? (6)
I believe the answer is:
debtor
'settle?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how they can define each other.
'person unable' is the wordplay.
'person' becomes 'deb' (deb is a kind of person).
'unable' becomes 'tor' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'deb'+'tor'='DEBTOR'
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for debtor that I've seen before include "One owing money" , "One of The Borrowers" , "Anyone owing money" , "Person who owes money" , "Opposite of creditor" .)
