Who fits roofing for a woodlouse? (6)
I believe the answer is:
slater
'for a woodlouse?' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'who fits roofing' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'roofing' could be 'slate' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'slate' is found within the answer.
A single letter 'r' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for slater that I've seen before include "Professional roof worker" , "High-up person" , "Roof-worker" , "Does one abuse" , "Man on top" .)
