Pick only married people for special treatment? (6,3)
I believe the answer is:
single out
'pick' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'only married people for special treatment?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'only' could be 'single' (similar in meaning) and 'single' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'out' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for single out that I've seen before include "Pick" , "Choose" , "record on release" , "Select from group" .)
