Travelling salesman taking fruit round outskirts of Dutch capital (6)
I believe the answer is:
pedlar
'travelling salesman' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'fruit round outskirts of dutch capital' is the wordplay.
'fruit' becomes 'pear' (pear is a kind of fruit).
'round' is an insertion indicator.
'outskirts of dutch capital' becomes 'dl' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'pear' going around 'dl' is 'PEDLAR'.
'taking' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pedlar that I've seen before include "Travelling merchant" , "Itinerant vendor" , "Itinerant salesman" , "Itinerant trader" , "dealer?" .)
