Spin merchant lying? (5)
I believe the answer is:
prone
'lying?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'spin merchant' is the wordplay.
'spin' becomes 'PR' (public relations).
'merchant' becomes 'one' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'pr'+'one'='PRONE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for prone that I've seen before include "Lying flat" , "Given" , "Prostrate" , "Liable (to suffer) - lying down" , "Lying face down - inclined" .)
