Race and Archie’s skin linked with King Charles and Queen (6)
I believe the answer is:
career
'queen' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with motion as well as being verbs in their base form.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'race and archie's skin linked with king charles' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
an anagram of 'race' is 'care' which is present in the answer.
'king' could be 'er' (abbreviation for Edward Rex, various English kings) and 'er' is found in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'and' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for career that I've seen before include "Tear" , "One's work life" , "Move rapidly in progress through life" , "Life's occupation" , "Working lifetime" .)
