Quick to show a professional’s not upset (6)
I believe the answer is:
pronto
'quick' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adverbs. Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'a professional's not upset' is the wordplay.
'a professional' becomes 'pro' ('pro' can be a synonym of 'professional').
'upset' is an anagram indicator.
'not' is an anagram of 'nto'.
'pro'+'nto'='PRONTO'
'to show' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pronto that I've seen before include "Promptly, without delay" , "Italian telephonic greeting" , "Right away, quickly" , "Quickly (sl.)" , "Immediately, amigo" .)
