Singer said to be getting this in payment? (6)
I believe the answer is:
tenner
'be getting this in payment?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both quantities as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'singer said' is the wordplay.
'singer' becomes 'tenor' (tenor is a kind of singer).
'said' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'tenor' sounds like 'TENNER'.
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tenner that I've seen before include "PS10" , "Note featuring Charles Darwin?" , "UK banknote" , "A 10 pound note (colloq.)" , "note form" .)
