Professional movements will produce preferments (10)
I believe the answer is:
promotions
'produce preferments' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'professional movements' is the wordplay.
'professional' becomes 'pro' (abbreviation).
'movements' becomes 'motions' ('motion' can be a synonym of 'movement').
'pro'+'motions'='PROMOTIONS'
'will' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
