One who assists a chap at the wheel in Monaco? (7)
I believe the answer is:
abetter
'one who assists a' is the definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.
'chap at the wheel in monaco?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'chap' could be 'abe' and 'abe' is located in the answer.
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ter' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
