English jobs losing right for responses (6)
I believe the answer is:
echoes
'for responses' is the definition.
(echo is a kind of response)
'english jobs losing right' is the wordplay.
'english' becomes 'E' (abbreviation).
'jobs' becomes 'chores' ('chore' can be a synonym of 'job').
'losing' suggests deleting specific letters.
'right' becomes 'r' (abbreviation).
'chores' with 'r' taken away is 'choes'.
'e'+'choes'='ECHOES'
(Other definitions for echoes that I've seen before include "Reflections of sound waves" , "Sounds reverberating" , "parrots" , "Sounds heard again" , "They're heard coming back" .)
