Overseer who'll sportingly give a chap a warning (7)
I believe the answer is:
foreman
'overseer' is the definition.
(I know that overseer can be written as foreman)
'who'll sportingly give a chap a warning' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'a' could be 'an' and 'an' is found within the answer.
'chap' could be 'rem' and 'rem' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for foreman that I've seen before include "Male supervisor" , "Supervising worker" , "Gaffer, overseer" , "Fellow in charge" , "Gaffer, boss" .)
