Sort out clothing for man in wedding (5)
I believe the answer is:
groom
'sort out' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'clothing for man in wedding' is the wordplay.
'clothing for' says to hollow out the word (remove centre letters) (only the letters which clothe the word).
'man' becomes 'Gar'.
'in wedding' becomes 'oom' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'gar' with its middle taken out is 'gr'.
'gr'+'oom'='GROOM'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for groom that I've seen before include "Educate for a future role" , "Smarten" , "school" , "Curry - husband-to-be" , "One at wedding" .)
