Goodness, an aristocrat! (4)
I believe the answer is:
lord
This clue could be a double definition.
'goodness an' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.
'aristocrat' is the second definition.
(I know that Lord is a type of male aristocrat)
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lord that I've seen before include "Entitled" , "to be drunk?" , "Dismayed expression; ruler" , "Member of Upper House" , "Noble title" .)
