When worried headwaiter let loose with the scourer (5,4)
I believe the answer is:
steel wool
'scourer' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how they can define each other.
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for steel wool that I've seen is " household cleaner".)
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
