To meet, career regularly around southern state (6)
I believe the answer is:
answer
'to meet' is the definition.
(answering is a kind of meeting)
'career regularly around southern state' is the wordplay.
'regularly' means one should take alternating letters (regularly take one letter, leave next etc.).
'around' is an insertion indicator.
'southern state' becomes 'nsw' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
The alternating letters of 'career' are 'aer'.
'aer' placed around 'nsw' is 'ANSWER'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for answer that I've seen before include "Respond" , "Response to a question" , "Reply or 8 across" , "Reaction to a question" , "fit" .)
