Salesman a diner in Winchester say (8)
I believe the answer is:
repeater
'winchester say' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.
'salesman a diner' is the wordplay.
'salesman' becomes 'rep' (I've seen this before).
'a diner' becomes 'eater' (to dine is to eat a meal).
'rep'+'eater'='REPEATER'
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for repeater that I've seen before include "Burp" , "teller" , "Maybe watch" , "One keeps saying" , "Handgun able to fire again without reloading" .)
