Who's permitted chaotic scene found in lounge? (8)
I believe the answer is:
licensee
'who's permitted' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'chaotic scene found in lounge?' is the wordplay.
'chaotic' indicates an anagram.
'found in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'lounge?' becomes 'lie' (as in to lounge or lie around).
'scene' with letters rearranged gives 'cense'.
'cense' going within 'lie' is 'LICENSEE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for licensee that I've seen before include "Person permitted to run pub" , "The one with the official permit" , "one allowed to serve" , "local host, perhaps" , "Person allowed to sell drink" .)
