Without social distinction, like an unemployed teacher (9)
I believe the answer is:
classless
'like an unemployed teacher' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'without social distinction' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'without' could be 'less' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'less' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'class' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for classless that I've seen before include "lacking social order" , "like an unemployed teacher" , "having no social distinctions" , "Society of socialist ideal" , "Lacking distinction" .)
