Order passbooks in two parts – no trouble (8)
I believe the answer is:
obedient
'order passbooks in two parts no trouble' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'order passbooks in two parts no' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'order' could be 'obe' (Order of the British Empire award) and 'obe' is located in the answer.
'no' could be 'n' (common abbreviation) and 'n' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'diet' is a valid word 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 obedient that I've seen before include "Doing what one is told, compliant" , "Doing as one's told" , "co-operative?" , "Following instructions" , "Complying with orders" .)
