Scheming type gets artist involved (10)
I believe the answer is:
strategist
'scheming type' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'gets artist involved' is the wordplay.
'involved' is an anagram indicator (involved can mean confusing or complex).
'gets'+'artist'='getsartist'
'getsartist' anagrammed gives 'STRATEGIST'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for strategist that I've seen before include "general" , "Long-term planner" , "Expert on the art of planning war" .)
