Name a lyric composer (5)
I believe the answer is:
cyril
'name' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'a lyric composer' is the wordplay.
'composer' indicates anagramming the letters.
'lyric' anagrammed gives 'CYRIL'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cyril that I've seen before include "Saint said to have created the Russian alphabet" , "Reputed saintly inventor of the Russian alphabet" .)
