Type of engineer chosen by Clair when renovating (10)
I believe the answer is:
electrical
'type of engineer' is the definition.
'chosen by clair when renovating' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'chosen' could be 'elect' ('elect' as an adjective can mean chosen) and 'elect' is found within the answer.
an anagram of 'clair' is 'rical' which is located in the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for electrical that I've seen before include "Like goods with plugs" , "Concerning current" , "Concerned with current" , "Like some storms" .)
