Tear door off for entertainer (8)
I believe the answer is:
toreador
'entertainer' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'tear door off' is the wordplay.
'off' indicates anagramming the letters.
'tear'+'door'='teardoor'
'teardoor' with letters rearranged gives 'TOREADOR'.
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for toreador that I've seen before include "killer on mount" , "Killer facing charges" , "Man honoured to be given an ear" , "A bullfighter, especially on horseback" , "He wears a flashy suit" .)
