Fancied one girl embraced by another (9)
I believe the answer is:
imaginary
'fancied' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'one girl embraced by another' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'one' could be 'i' (Roman numeral) and 'i' is found in the answer.
'girl' could be 'gina' and 'gina' is present in the answer.
'another' could be 'r' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'r' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'may' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for imaginary that I've seen before include "Fictitious" , "Illusory" , "Fanciful, notional" , "Not based on fact, unreal" , "Not real" .)
