Profession many rush to get (5)
I believe the answer is:
creed
'profession' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'many rush to get' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'many' could be 'd' and 'd' is present in the answer.
'to get' could be 're' (I've seen this in other clues) and 're' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for creed that I've seen before include "Set of beliefs or principles" , "System of belief, faith" , "Statement of belief" , "Church doctrine" , "teleprinter" .)
