Aloof, hiding head? Show feelings dramatically (5)
I believe the answer is:
emote
'feelings dramatically' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'aloof hiding head?' is the wordplay.
'aloof' becomes 'remote' (I've seen this in another clue).
'hiding head?' means to remove the first letter (I've seen 'hiding head' mean this).
'remote' with its first letter taken away is 'EMOTE'.
'show' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for emote that I've seen before include "Exaggerate one's feelings" , "Show heightened feelings" , "Express strong feeling" , "Express over-the-top feelings" , "Show feeling excessively" .)
