Idler who needs bread to eat? (6)
I believe the answer is:
loafer
'idler who' is the definition.
'loafer' can be an answer for 'idler' (synonyms). I'm unsure of the remainder of the definition.
'bread to eat?' is the wordplay.
'bread' becomes 'loaf' (loaf of bread).
'to eat?' becomes 'er' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'loaf'+'er'='LOAFER'
'needs' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for loafer that I've seen before include "one going on foot?" , "Lazy type" , "Idler; casual shoe" , "one taking it easy" , "idle type" .)
