One in audience stuck behind singular coat taker (7)
I believe the answer is:
shearer
'one' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'audience stuck behind singular coat taker' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'audience' could be 'ear' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'ear' is located in the answer.
'singular' could be 's' (abbreviation in grammar) and 's' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'her' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for shearer that I've seen before include "Wool cutter - ex-England footballer" , "Alan - - , Newcastle striker" , "one who removes coat" , "Sheep barber?" , "He cuts the fleece from sheep" .)
