How the bankrupt leaves torso? (4,4)
I believe the answer is:
goes bust
'how' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.
'bankrupt leaves torso?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'bankrupt' could be 'bust' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'bust' is present in the answer.
'leaves' could be 'goes' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'goes' is found in the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'the' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
