Strap-on kinky Tina smeared in supposed protective agent (6,5)
I believe the answer is:
patron saint
'supposed protective agent' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'strap-on kinky tina smeared' is the wordplay.
'kinky' is an anagram indicator.
'smeared' is an anagram indicator.
'strap'+'on'='strapon'
'strapon' with letters rearranged gives 'patrons'.
'tina' is an anagram of 'aint'.
'patrons'+'aint'='PATRON SAINT'
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for patron saint that I've seen before include "Holy guardian of country, trade etc" , "Andrew for Scotland, for example" , "Virgin Mary in France possibly" , "Unearthly guardian" , "Protector in heaven" .)
