Financial wizard trashed in one sitcom (9)
I believe the answer is:
economist
'financial wizard' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'trashed in one sitcom' is the wordplay.
'one sitcom' anagrams to 'ECONOMIST'.
However, I'm unsure how this is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for economist that I've seen before include "He studies money etc" , "Smith, perhaps" , "government adviser, possibly" , "publication" , "One versed in the management of a country's material resources" .)
