Gold armour regularly put on a fairytale princess (6)
I believe the answer is:
aurora
'fairytale princess' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'gold armour regularly put on a' is the wordplay.
'gold' becomes 'Au' (Au is the chemical symbol for gold).
'regularly' means one should take alternating letters (regularly take one letter, leave next etc.).
'put on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (some letters go on or after others).
The alternate letters of 'armour' are 'ror'.
'au'+'ror'+'a'='AURORA'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for aurora that I've seen before include "Gentle breeze for goodess of Dawn" , "Polar light show" , "goddess appears" , "Dawn, Sleeping Princess" , "Northern or southern lights" .)
