To be accurate, he needs electricity (6)
I believe the answer is:
curate
'to be accurate he needs electricity' is the definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.
'to be accurate he needs electricity' is the wordplay.
'CURATE' is hidden in amongst the letters.
But, I'm unsure how the hidden word is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for curate that I've seen before include "one wearing dog-collar" , "Assistant to a parish priest" , "Minister of religion" , "Churchman" , "Junior church minister" .)
