Creditor showing explosive ego and bile (7)
I believe the answer is:
obligee
'creditor' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'explosive ego and bile' is the wordplay.
'explosive' indicates an anagram.
'and' says to put letters next to each other (I've seen this in other clues).
'ego' after 'bile' is 'bileego'.
'bileego' is an anagram of 'OBLIGEE'.
'showing' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for obligee that I've seen before include "A certain contractor" , "one owes a favour" .)
