Soldier makes rotor appear differently (11)
I believe the answer is:
paratrooper
'soldier' is the definition.
(I know that paratrooper is a type of soldier)
'rotor appear differently' is the wordplay.
'differently' indicates an anagram.
'rotor'+'appear'='rotorappear'
'rotorappear' anagrammed gives 'PARATROOPER'.
'makes' is the link.
(Another definition for paratrooper that I've seen is " Airborne soldier".)
I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
