The most admirable debtor is one who gives (8)
I believe the answer is:
bestower
'one who gives' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'the most admirable debtor' is the wordplay.
'the most' becomes 'best'.
'admirable debtor' becomes 'ower' (I've seen this in another clue. I am not sure about the 'admirable' bit.).
'best'+'ower'='BESTOWER'
'is' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bestower that I've seen before include "Presenter" , "One offering gifts" .)
