Upset small child I don't know about death, and seek offers for work (3,3,2,6)
I believe the answer is:
put out to tender
'upset small' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'child i don't know about death and seek offers for work' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'child' could be 'tot' (term for a young child) and 'tot' is located in the answer.
'death' could be 'end' (synonyms) and 'end' is found in the answer.
'for' could be 'to' (eg both can mean 'in the opinion of') and 'to' is found within the answer.
'i don't know' could be 'er' ('er' is a hesitation) and 'er' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for put out to tender that I've seen before include "Contract might be" , "Invite bids for (a task)" , "Invite proposals for (contract)" .)
