Wavering atheist or one unwilling to make a commitment (9)
I believe the answer is:
hesitator
'one unwilling to make a commitment' is the definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.
'wavering atheist or' is the wordplay.
'wavering' is an anagram indicator.
'atheist' with letters rearranged gives 'hesitat'.
'hesitat'+'or'='HESITATOR'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for hesitator that I've seen is " I just can't decide".)
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
