Solicitor makes case for nonsense to repeat endlessly (7)
I believe the answer is:
trotout
'solicitor makes case' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.
'nonsense to repeat endlessly' is the wordplay.
'nonsense' indicates an anagram.
'repeat' becomes 'r' (abbreviation).
'endlessly' becomes 'tout' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'to'+'r'='tor'
'tor' anagrammed gives 'tro'.
'tro'+'tout'='TROTOUT'
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
