She remains a long-distance specialist (6)
I believe the answer is:
stayer
This clue could be a double definition.
'she remains' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how they can define each other.
'a long-distance specialist' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for stayer that I've seen before include "One not easily giving up" , "One with stamina" , "One with lasting qualities" , "Persistent person" , "Person who lasts the course, doesn't quit" .)
