Work for an actor on his own? (5)
I believe the answer is:
apart
'actor on his own?' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun but the answer is not.
'work for an' is the wordplay.
'work' becomes 'part' (part is a kind of work).
'for' says to put letters next to each other (I've seen this in other clues).
'an' becomes 'a'.
'part' put after 'a' is 'APART'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for apart that I've seen before include "set aside" , "First Christmas present from my love" , "Estranged - in pieces" , "cut off from others" , "Separated physically" .)
