Worker in suit with coat over the top (6)
I believe the answer is:
lawyer
'worker in suit' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'with coat over the top' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'with' could be 'w' (short for with) and 'w' is located in the answer.
'coat' could be 'layer' (layering is a kind of coating) and 'layer' is found within the leftover letters.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lawyer that I've seen before include "Legal practitioner" , "Man at the bar?" , "Legal expert" , "Legal professional" , "One qualified in legal matters" .)
