Mostly five-star dancing line in Glastonbury? (8)
I believe the answer is:
festival
'glastonbury?' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'mostly five-star dancing line' is the wordplay.
'mostly' means to remove the last letter (most but not all of the word).
'dancing' is an anagram indicator.
'line' becomes 'l' (used when specifying particular lines from a poem).
'five'+'star'='fivestar'
'fivestar' with its last letter taken away is 'fivesta'.
'fivesta' is an anagram of 'festiva'.
'festiva'+'l'='FESTIVAL'
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for festival that I've seen before include "Edinburgh's summer event" , "Holy day" , "Carnival or jamboree" , "Day or time of celebration" , "Gala" .)
