Practical place to find last role model (7)
I believe the answer is:
example
'model' is the definition.
('example' can be a synonym of 'model')
'practical place to find last role' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'place' could be 'pl' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'pl' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for example that I've seen before include "warning" , "Paradigm or model" , "Model - instance" , "Representative object" , "Characteristic item" .)
