What solicitor may do about overturning bulk of legal expenses? (6)
I believe the answer is:
accost
'what solicitor may do' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun but the answer is not.
'about overturning bulk of legal expenses?' is the wordplay.
'about' becomes 'ca' (circa).
'overturning' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'bulk of legal expenses?' becomes 'cost' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'ca' back-to-front is 'ac'.
'ac'+'cost'='ACCOST'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for accost that I've seen before include "approach with menaces" , "Approach boldly or insolently" , "Stop and pester" , "Come up and address" , "Approach boldly or aggressively" .)
