Such repetitive work attracts no living wage (7)
I believe the answer is:
robotic
'such' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
(Other definitions for robotic that I've seen before include "Of mechanical movements" , "acting without thinking?" , "Mechanical; unemotional" , "Stiff, unemotional" , "Using automatic" .)
