New firm right to split EE's company bonus? (6)
I believe the answer is:
encore
'company bonus?' is the definition.
'encore' can be an answer for 'bonus?' (I've seen this before). I am unsure of the 'company' bit.
'new firm right to split ee's' is the wordplay.
'new' becomes 'n' (common abbreviation eg NT for New Testament).
'firm' becomes 'co' (a firm is a company).
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'to split' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'n'+'co'+'r'='ncor'
'ncor' placed within 'ee' is 'ENCORE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for encore that I've seen before include "Repeat performance, please" , "Request to sing it again" , "Repeated performance demanded by an audience" , "Extra item at end of concert" , "Sing it again, please" .)
