Señora dropping round unexpectedly gets paid (5)
I believe the answer is:
earns
'gets paid' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'senora dropping round unexpectedly' is the wordplay.
'dropping' is a deletion indicator.
'round' becomes 'o' (round can mean a round object).
'unexpectedly' is an anagram indicator.
'senora' with 'o' taken away is 'senra'.
'senra' is an anagram of 'EARNS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for earns that I've seen before include "Gains by labour" , "Merits through work" , "Gains by work" , "Acquires by effort" , "ready for work?" .)
