Silver net confused James Bond? (5)
I believe the answer is:
agent
'james bond?' is the definition.
(James Bond is an example)
'silver net confused' is the wordplay.
'silver' becomes 'Ag' (Ag is the chemical symbol for silver).
'confused' indicates an anagram.
'net' with letters rearranged gives 'ent'.
'ag'+'ent'='AGENT'
(Other definitions for agent that I've seen before include "Salesman" , "Traveller" , "that may be secret?" , "Sales rep" , "Vehicle" .)
