Would he plagiarise a tripe recipe? (6)
I believe the answer is:
pirate
'would he plagiarise' is the definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.
'a tripe recipe?' is the wordplay.
'recipe?' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'recipe' mean this).
'a'+'tripe'='atripe'
'atripe' with letters rearranged gives 'PIRATE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pirate that I've seen before include "sailor" , "Hook", for example" , "Rat pie (anag)" , "Silver, perhaps" , "Copy published material illegally" .)
