Pensioner English authors discovered going around Spain (7)
I believe the answer is:
retiree
'pensioner' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'english authors discovered going around spain' is the wordplay.
'english' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'authors' becomes 'bards' (bard is a kind of author).
'discovered' indicates the central letters (dis-covered - outer letters removed).
'going around' is a reversal indicator.
'spain' becomes 'tiree' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
The middle of 'bards' is 'r'.
'e'+'r'='er'
'er' backwards is 're'.
're'+'tiree'='RETIREE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for retiree that I've seen before include "Person out of work" , "Pensioner" , "One put out to pasture" , "One who has ceased to work" , "One ceasing to work" .)
