What bodyguard listens to shooter after attention? (8)
I believe the answer is:
earpiece
'what bodyguard listens' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'shooter after attention?' is the wordplay.
'shooter' becomes 'piece' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'after' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'attention?' becomes 'ear' (having someone's ear is having their attention).
'piece' put after 'ear' is 'EARPIECE'.
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for earpiece that I've seen before include "What lets you hear communications" , "for audibility" , "receiver" , "Through which one may listen" , "Part of a telephone" .)
