Surgeon saving man without skeleton? (8)
I believe the answer is:
boneless
'without skeleton?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'surgeon saving man' is the wordplay.
'surgeon' becomes 'bless' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'saving' is an insertion indicator.
'man' becomes 'one'.
'bless' placed around 'one' is 'BONELESS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for boneless that I've seen before include "Filleted" , "lacking courage?" , "without skeleton?" .)
