Training note after he translated for old writer (3-7)
I believe the answer is:
pen-feather
'old writer' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.
'training note after he translated' is the wordplay.
'training' becomes 'pe'.
'note' becomes 'n' (abbreviation**).
'translated' indicates an anagram.
'after'+'he'='afterhe'
'afterhe' anagrammed gives 'feather'.
'pe'+'n'+'feather'='PEN-FEATHER'
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
