Is he the sole specialist? (11)
I believe the answer is:
chiropodist
'specialist?' is the definition.
(I know that chiropodist is a type of specialist)
'is he the sole' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'is' is present in the answer.
'he' could be 'hi' and 'hi' is found within the answer.
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for chiropodist that I've seen before include "corn cutter" , "One who treats feet" , "Foot-doctor" , "One treating the feet" , "Treater of feet" .)
