obtainable

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'this if you really try to secure a barrister from england' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun but the answer is not.

'you can' is the wordplay.
'you' becomes 'obtain' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'can' becomes 'able' (I've seen this in other clues).
'obtain'+'able'='OBTAINABLE'

'get' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for obtainable that I've seen is " Can be got".)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times.
