Squandered the day listening to canine cleaner (6,9)
I believe the answer is:
dental hygienist
'canine cleaner' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'squandered the day listening' is the wordplay.
'the day listening' anagrams to 'DENTAL HYGIENIST'.
Though, I am not sure how the anagram is indicated.
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
