Spanish girl after an artist? (6)
I believe the answer is:
ramona
'spanish' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how they can define each other.
'girl after an artist?' is the wordplay.
'girl' becomes 'mona' ().
'after' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'an artist?' becomes 'RA' (Royal Academician, member of Royal Academy of Arts).
'mona' put after 'ra' is 'RAMONA'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
