Inexperienced person unable to get a grip? (6)
I believe the answer is:
novice
'inexperienced' is the definition.
('novice' can be similar in meaning to 'inexperienced')
'unable to get a grip?' is the wordplay.
'unable to' becomes 'no' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'get' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'a grip?' becomes 'vice' (I've seen this in other clues).
'no'+'vice'='NOVICE'
'person' acts as a link.
I am not very happy about this link. It may belong to another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for novice that I've seen before include "Rod, tee up the ship-worm" , "Trainee monk" , "Beginner, trio" , "A beginner or student nun" , "Acolyte" .)
