Pay actor questionably sheltering male drug dealer? (10)
I believe the answer is:
apothecary
'drug dealer?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'pay actor questionably sheltering male' is the wordplay.
'questionably' is an anagram indicator (questionably can mean strange).
'sheltering' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'male' becomes 'he'.
'pay'+'actor'='payactor'
'payactor' with letters rearranged gives 'apotcary'.
'apotcary' enclosing 'he' is 'APOTHECARY'.
(Other definitions for apothecary that I've seen before include "Old drug dealer" , "Drug supplier" , "dealer, old-style" , "Old-style pharmacist" , "Drug dispenser" .)
