Scrap outside work biased individual (5)
I believe the answer is:
bigot
'biased individual' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'scrap outside work' is the wordplay.
'scrap' becomes 'bit' (synonyms).
'outside' indicates putting letters inside (some letters go outside others).
'work' becomes 'go' (synonyms).
'bit' going around 'go' is 'BIGOT'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bigot that I've seen before include "One is prejudiced and intolerant" , "Dogmatist" , "Fanatic" , "Intolerantly prejudiced person" , "Intolerant type" .)
