Mostly five-star dancing line in Glastonbury? (8)
I believe the answer is:
festival
'glastonbury?' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'mostly five-star dancing line' is the wordplay.
'mostly' means to remove the last letter (most but not all of the word).
'dancing' indicates an anagram.
'line' becomes 'l' (used when specifying particular lines from a poem).
'five'+'star'='fivestar'
'fivestar' with its last letter taken away is 'fivesta'.
'fivesta' anagrammed gives 'festiva'.
'festiva'+'l'='FESTIVAL'
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for festival that I've seen before include "Edinburgh's summer event" , "Holy day" , "Carnival or jamboree" , "Day or time of celebration" , "Gala" .)
