Would hired killer strike crew? (6)
I believe the answer is:
hitman
'would hired killer' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'strike crew?' is the wordplay.
'strike' becomes 'hit' (synonyms).
'crew?' becomes 'man' (both can mean to staff or operate something).
'hit'+'man'='HITMAN'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hitman that I've seen before include "Hired gun" , "offer?" , "killer" , "Assassin" .)
