Story teller talked about torment while travelling (9)
I believe the answer is:
raconteur
'story teller' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'talked about torment while travelling' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'about' could be 'on' (as in a book 'on' a certain topic) and 'on' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for raconteur that I've seen before include "One who tells amusing tales" , "One spinning yarns" , "one with a gift for relation" , "source of stories?" , "Skilful teller of anecdotes" .)
