Acting the part of the Western traveller? (2,5)
I believe the answer is:
on stage
'acting' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'part of the western traveller?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'part' could be 'stage' (I have seen 'Part of journey ' mean 'stage' so perhaps 'part' could also mean 'stage') and 'stage' is present in the answer.
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is present in the answer.
A single letter 'n' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'the' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for on stage that I've seen before include "for an audience to watch?" , "playing a part?" , "Performing" , "in a play?" , "performance" .)
