Lawyer from the Middle East in a Beetle (6)
I believe the answer is:
scarab
This clue could be a double definition.
'lawyer from the middle east' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how one could define the other.
'beetle' is the second definition.
(I know that scarab is a type of dung beetle)
'in a' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for scarab that I've seen before include "Sacred dung-beetle" , "Sacred Egyptian beetle" , "Sacred beetle of ancient Egypt" , "Type of beetle" , "old lucky charm" .)
