Person who gets shot by outlaw carrying gun? (6)
I believe the answer is:
barman
'person who gets shot' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'outlaw carrying gun?' is the wordplay.
'outlaw' becomes 'ban' (banning is a kind of outlawing).
'carrying' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'gun?' becomes 'arm' (gun is a kind of arm).
'ban' placed around 'arm' is 'BARMAN'.
'by' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for barman that I've seen before include "Pub employee" , "Bloke at counter" , "Club worker" , "Drinks server" , "He works in a pub" .)
