Manipulative type turning some entire suit (4)
I believe the answer is:
user
'manipulative type' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'turning some entire suit' is the wordplay.
'turning' says the letters should be written backwards.
'some' says the answer is hidden in the clue (some of the parts of the word are used).
'resu' is hidden within 'entire suit'.
'resu' back-to-front is 'USER'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for user that I've seen before include "Ruse (anag.)" , "junkie" , "One operating something" , "Person taking drugs" , "One taking advantage" .)
