Salute charity worker (5)
I believe the answer is:
salvo
This clue might be a double definition.
'salute' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'charity worker' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how they can define each other.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for salvo that I've seen before include "Burst (of applause, insults, artillery etc)" , "Simultaneous burst of gunfire" , "Simultaneous discharge of weapons" , "Artillery salute" , "Discharge of gunfire" .)
