Phone yet to be reconnected for beginner (8)
I believe the answer is:
neophyte
'for beginner' is the definition.
(neophyte is a kind of beginner)
'phone yet to be' is the wordplay.
'to be' is an anagram indicator.
'phone'+'yet'='phoneyet'
'phoneyet' with letters rearranged gives 'NEOPHYTE'.
'reconnected' acts as a link.
This may not be correct. It may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for neophyte that I've seen before include "Apprentice; newcomer to a religion, job, society, etc..." , "raw recruit" , "One's just taken orders" , "Reformed character" , "Recent convert" .)
