Servant without love one who likes to row? (7)
I believe the answer is:
boatman
'servant without love one who likes to row?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'servant without love one' is the wordplay.
'servant' becomes 'batman' (I've seen this before).
'without' indicates putting letters inside ('without' can be similar in meaning to 'outside').
'love one' becomes 'o' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'batman' going around 'o' is 'BOATMAN'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for boatman that I've seen before include "He may have a smack" , "George - or Harris, maybe" , "Fellow with craft" , "Rower - bargee" , "Sailor" .)
