A little one's name (3)
I believe the answer is:
leo
'name' is the definition.
'a little one's' is the wordplay.
'LEO' is hidden within the letters.
However, I am not sure how the hidden word is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for leo that I've seen before include "certain stars" , "5th sign of the zodiac" , "Fifth sign of the zodiac" , "Lion constellation" , "of pride" .)
