Suspend setter for example, guilty in manner (7)
I believe the answer is:
hangdog
'example guilty in manner' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'suspend setter' is the wordplay.
'suspend' becomes 'hang' (to hang is to suspend from something).
'setter' becomes 'dog' (a setter is a type of dog).
'hang'+'dog'='HANGDOG'
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hangdog that I've seen before include "With a sneaking, cowed look" , "Looking guiltily dejected" , "Apparently embarrassed" , "Appearing ashamed" , "Browbeaten" .)
