Uniform, black, acceptable to employers? (6)
I believe the answer is:
usable
'acceptable to employers?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'uniform black' is the wordplay.
'uniform' becomes 'U' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'black' becomes 'sable' (heraldic term for black).
'u'+'sable'='USABLE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for usable that I've seen before include "Fit for purpose" , "not to be discarded?" , "Practical" , "at one's disposal" , "Like something functional" .)
