One occupying temporary accommodation? (6)
I believe the answer is:
tenant
'one occupying temporary accommodation?' is the definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.
'one occupying temporary accommodation?' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'an' (an apple is one apple).
'occupying' indicates putting letters inside (inserted letters occupy or enter the word).
'temporary accommodation?' becomes 'tent' (I've seen this before).
'an' placed within 'tent' is 'TENANT'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tenant that I've seen before include "Renting occupant" , "Occupier of rented property" , "One who pays rent" , "Rent-payer" , "He pays rent for lodgings" .)
