Leading man in cinema? (5)
I believe the answer is:
usher
This clue might be a double definition.
'leading man' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'cinema?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for usher that I've seen before include "Escort (to a seat)" , "Doorkeeper; shower to seat" , "Person showing one to a seat" , "Minor court official" , "One who should lead the way" .)
