Prominently displayed item's role's tied up with deals (4-6)
I believe the answer is:
loss-leader
'prominently displayed item's' is the definition.
'loss leader' can be an answer for 'item's' (thesaurus). I am not sure about the 'prominently displayed' bit.
'role's tied up with deals' is the wordplay.
'tied up with' indicates an anagram (letters get tied or tangled up).
'roles' anagrammed with 'deals' can make 'LOSS-LEADER'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
