Remove the end bits when they select you for that job? (6)
I believe the answer is:
detail
'remove the end bits when they select you for that job?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.
'remove the end' is the wordplay.
'remove' becomes 'de' (I've seen this in other clues).
'the end' becomes 'tail' (tail is a kind of end).
'de'+'tail'='DETAIL'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for detail that I've seen before include "Individual fact or feature, may be unimportant" , "Unimportant area" , "Small detachment of troops or police on special assignment" , "Factor" , "Special military group" .)
