Shifty, earthy, back-slapping type? (6)
I believe the answer is:
hearty
'back-slapping type?' is the definition.
The answer and definition are not the same part of speech.
'shifty earthy' is the wordplay.
'shifty' is an anagram indicator.
'earthy' is an anagram of 'HEARTY'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hearty that I've seen before include "Warm, vigorous" , "backslapping everyone?" , "Vocally cordial in earthy way" , "Vigorous and in good spirits, being earthy" , "full of enthusiasm" .)
