Solicitor covering face in public (3)
I believe the answer is:
out
'in public' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for out that I've seen before include "Extinguished; abroad" , "A way to escape" , "Inaccurate - dismissed" , "See 19" , "At fault - dismissed" .)
