Note Spanish girl’s standard of perfection? (5)
I believe the answer is:
nines
'note spanish girl's standard of perfection?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'note spanish girl's' is the wordplay.
'note' becomes 'n' (abbreviation).
'spanish girl' becomes 'ines' (common Spanish name).
'n'+'ines'='NINES'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for nines that I've seen before include "9s" , "In emergency, press three of these" , "Numbers to which one may be dressed up?" , "squares" , "Dressed to these is to be perfectly turned out" .)
