The Chosen One? (9)
I believe the answer is:
appointee
'the chosen one?' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'the chosen one?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is found within the answer.
'chosen' could be 'in' ('you're in!') and 'in' is present in the answer.
'one?' could be 'a' (a thing is one thing) and 'a' is present 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 appointee that I've seen before include "One assigned to a post" , "One put into post" , "One assigned to a job or role" , "Job-holder" , "Chap getting post" .)
