Pilot or labourer with spat reported (9)
I believe the answer is:
navigator
'pilot' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'or labourer with spat reported' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'or' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for navigator that I've seen before include "Person steering course" , "Prince Henry, say" , "Marine explorer" , "sailor" , "One directs the course, of a ship say" .)
