Individual doing little except relax initially (5)
I believe the answer is:
idler
'individual doing little except relax initially' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'individual doing little except relax initially' is the wordplay.
'individual' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral for one).
'initially' says to take the initial letters.
The initial letters of 'doing little except relax' is 'dler'.
'i'+'dler'='IDLER'
Can you help me to learn more?
