Will writer totter as drunk? (8)
I believe the answer is:
testator
'will writer' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'totter as drunk?' is the wordplay.
'drunk?' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'drunk' mean this).
'totter'+'as'='totteras'
'totteras' is an anagram of 'TESTATOR'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for testator that I've seen before include "One willing" , "Person making a will" , "Attestor (anag.)" , "Person who has made a will" , "A man who has made a will" .)
