My better worker filed beautifully? (9)
I believe the answer is:
manicured
'filed beautifully?' is the definition.
(nails)
'my better worker' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'better' could be 'cured' (after being sick) and 'cured' is present in the answer.
'worker' could be 'man' (man is a kind of worker) and 'man' is located in the answer.
A single letter 'i' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for manicured that I've seen before include "Digitally processed" , "well-groomed" , "digitally enhanced?" , "given quick treatment?" .)
