Work together on article depicting financial investor (5)
I believe the answer is:
angel
'financial investor' is the definition.
'angel' can be an answer for 'investor' (term for a financial backer of new businesses). I also know that 'financial' relates to this answer.
'work together on article' is the wordplay.
'work together' becomes 'gel' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'article' becomes 'an' (indefinite article).
'gel' put after 'an' is 'ANGEL'.
'depicting' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for angel that I've seen before include "One backing theatre production" , "Theatre financier" , "backer for rep" , "Messenger of God" , "Very helpful person" .)
