Spiritual type once regularly has bet (7)
I believe the answer is:
newager
'spiritual type' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'once regularly has bet' is the wordplay.
'regularly' means one should take alternating letters (regularly take one letter, leave next etc.).
'has' says to put letters next to each other.
'bet' becomes 'wager' (synonyms).
The alternating letters of 'once' are 'ne'.
'ne'+'wager'='NEWAGER'
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
