Suggesting I am working steadily (8)
I believe the answer is:
implying
'suggesting' is the definition.
(implying is a kind of suggesting)
'i am working steadily' is the wordplay.
'i am' becomes 'I'm' (contraction).
'working steadily' becomes 'plying' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'im'+'plying'='IMPLYING'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for implying that I've seen before include "Insinuating; signifying" , "Suggesting" , "making insinuations" , "Meaning" , "Indicating by suggestion" .)
