What a fisherman actually gains from his work? (3,6)
I believe the answer is:
net profit
'gains from his work?' is the definition.
'net profit' can be an answer for 'gains' (thesaurus). I am unsure of the 'from his work?' bit.
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for net profit that I've seen before include "Earnings after all deductions" , "Actual money to be made" , "Excess of sales over costs for potent fir" , "return from business" , "What's finally made" .)
