Admire sun that makes child tender (9)
I believe the answer is:
nursemaid
'child tender' is the definition.
'nursemaid' can be an answer for 'tender' (I've seen this before). I'm unsure of the 'child' bit.
'admire sun that makes' is the wordplay.
'that makes' indicates anagramming the letters.
'admire'+'sun'='admiresun'
'admiresun' anagrammed gives 'NURSEMAID'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for nursemaid that I've seen before include "Be overprotective towards (someone)" , "caretaker" , "Woman tending a child or children" , "female carer" , "Woman employed to look after children" .)
