Repairman finds card behind spire (11)
I believe the answer is:
steeplejack
'repairman' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'card behind spire' is the wordplay.
'card' becomes 'jack' (type of playing card).
'behind' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'spire' becomes 'steeple' (synonyms).
'jack' put after 'steeple' is 'STEEPLEJACK'.
'finds' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for steeplejack that I've seen before include "One working at heights" , "who goes up the chimney" , "One used to climbing" , "Tall chimney repairer" , "Worker on tall structures" .)
