Pass to another owner - who will replace workers? (6,5)
I believe the answer is:
change hands
'pass' is the definition.
(I know that pass is a more specific form of the action change hands)
'will replace workers?' is the wordplay.
'will' says to put letters next to each other (I've seen this in other clues).
'replace' becomes 'change' (changing is a kind of replacing).
'workers?' becomes 'hands' (hand is a kind of worker).
'change' put next to 'hands' is 'CHANGE HANDS'.
'to another owner who' acts as a link.
This may not be right. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for change hands that I've seen before include "pass from one to another" , "Pass to a different owner" .)
