Traveller, much prettier, getting picked up (8)
I believe the answer is:
wayfarer
'traveller' is the definition.
(wayfarer is a kind of traveller)
'much prettier getting picked up' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'much' could be 'far' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'far' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
(Other definitions for wayfarer that I've seen before include "Foot-traveller" , "One walking" , "Person on a journey - sailing dinghy" , "Trekker" , "Person who travels on foot" .)
