Just transfixed by grand worker of wonders (5)
I believe the answer is:
fakir
'worker of wonders' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'just transfixed by grand' is the wordplay.
'just' becomes 'fair' (just can mean fair in the sense of showing justice).
'transfixed by' indicates putting letters inside.
'grand' becomes 'k' (both can mean a thousand pounds or dollars).
'fair' placed around 'k' is 'FAKIR'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for fakir that I've seen before include "Religious ascetic living solely on alms" , "Muslim ascetic - Hindu holy man" , "Ascetic in India" , "Holy man of the East" , "Religious mendicant in India" .)
