What about jail break for prophet? (6)
I believe the answer is:
elijah
'for prophet?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'what about jail break' is the wordplay.
'what' becomes 'eh' (sound used to ask 'what?' or 'pardon?').
'about' indicates an anagram.
'break' indicates putting letters inside (inserted letters break into the word).
'jail' anagrammed gives 'lija'.
'eh' going around 'lija' is 'ELIJAH'.
(Other definitions for elijah that I've seen before include "O.T. prophet who disappeared in fiery chariot" , "OT, Islamic prophet" , "Mendelssohn oratorio" , "Hebrew prophet who disappeared in fiery chariot" , "Biblical prophet" .)
