Shipwreck victim seeing actors off (8)
I believe the answer is:
castaway
'shipwreck victim' is the definition.
'castaway' can be an answer for 'victim' (I have seen 'Victim of shipwreck ' mean 'castaway' so perhaps 'victim' could also mean 'castaway'). I am not sure about the 'shipwreck' bit.
'actors off' is the wordplay.
'actors' becomes 'cast' (group of actors).
'off' becomes 'away' (synonyms).
'cast'+'away'='CASTAWAY'
'seeing' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for castaway that I've seen before include "Victim of shipwreck" , ""Captain Bligh"? - with 5d" , "Shipwrecked character" , "Rejected person" , "Shipwrecked or abandoned person like Robinson Crusoe" .)
