Spectator 2358

[hankir]

Parsing help.

Kingly chap against all risks in marketplace (6)

The answer is Bazaar.
I get the last three letters but why the first three for Kingly chap?
Thanks.

The only conclusion I can reach is the name meaning.

Baz -Royal; Kingly; Eagle; King; Basil …

Think you have it right, Mamya

https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/basil

Apparently the etymology of Basil, hence Baz, is Royal, hence kingly....
A bit tortured even for the Spectator.

[Mamyalynne]

Not one I do.

[ladyalex]

Nor me...far too hard.

[ladyalex]

Just surmising from the questions and answers seen on here.

[Mamyalynne]

True Milady, too tough for me.

[hankir]

Thanks Mamyalynne and ladyalex.
I would never have guessed Baz is Basil.

Another clue answer has Sal for Sarah. New to me.

[Mamyalynne]

Knew that one had a Gear Aunt Sarah/Sal to some.

In a barred puzzle the setter will normally only use names and diminutives listed in the 'Some first names' appendix of Chambers, so C gives 'Basil: kingly - dimin Baz' and 'Sarah: princess, queen - dimins Sadie, Sal, Sally'.
