Singer forced to stop work (6)
I believe the answer is:
resign
'stop work' is the definition.
'resign' can be an answer for 'stop' (thesaurus). I'm not certain of the 'work' bit.
'singer forced' is the wordplay.
'forced' indicates anagramming the letters.
'singer' is an anagram of 'RESIGN'.
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for resign that I've seen before include "Give up one's job" , "withdraw" , "advice for the incompetent?" , "Give up office" , "Stand down" .)
