Intrepid little company? (3)
I believe the answer is:
rep
'little company?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'intrepid' is the wordplay.
'REP' is hidden within the letters.
But, I am not sure how the hidden word is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rep that I've seen before include "Travelling salesman" , "Fabric with a ribbed surface" , "what a draper usually sells" , "Stuff" , "Corded fabric" .)
