Someone who gossips in fashion magazine? About time! (7)
I believe the answer is:
tattler
'someone who gossips in fashion magazine?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how they can define each other.
'about time' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'about' could be 'a' (abbreviation in Chambers) and 'a' is found within the answer.
'time' could be 't' (abbreviation) and 't' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tattler that I've seen before include "Chatterer" , "gossip" , "One who gossips" .)
