Warrant for sentry detailed by worker with ease, say? (9)
I believe the answer is:
guarantee
'warrant' is the definition.
(I know that warrant can be written as guarantee)
'sentry detailed by worker with ease say?' is the wordplay.
'sentry' becomes 'guard' (I've seen this before).
'detailed' means to remove the last letter (the word must be end-less or 'de-tailed').
'by worker' becomes 'ant' (worker is a type of ant. I am not sure about the 'by' bit.).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'say?' shows a homophone (sound like) (I've seen 'said' mean this).
'ease' is a homophone of 'ee'.
'guard' with its final letter removed is 'guar'.
'guar'+'ant'+'ee'='GUARANTEE'
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for guarantee that I've seen before include "Formal assurance" , "Ensure" , "Promising" , "security system" , "Written assurance, pledge" .)
