Teach artist without money? On the contrary (5)
I believe the answer is:
train
'teach' is the definition.
(I know that train is a more specific form of the action teach)
'artist without money? on the contrary' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'artist' could be 'ra' (Royal Academician, member of Royal Academy of Arts) and 'ra' is found within the answer.
'money?' could be 'tin' (old-fashioned slang term for money) and 'tin' is present in the remaining letters.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for train that I've seen before include "Rail transport" , "Teach (person) a skill" , "Prepare for public transport?" , "Trailing part of bridal dress" , "Try to get fit" .)
