Trustee, skipping troubles, benefits (6)
I believe the answer is:
avails
'benefits' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'trustee skipping troubles' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'troubles' could be 'ails' (as verb) and 'ails' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for avails that I've seen before include "Makes use of saliva" , "Takes advantage of or benefits from" , "Is of profit, helps" .)
