Nosy character liable to cry over a refusal? (6)
I believe the answer is:
cyrano
'nosy character liable' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'cry over a refusal?' is the wordplay.
'over' is an anagram indicator.
'refusal?' becomes 'no' (it's a no).
'cry' with letters rearranged gives 'cyr'.
'cyr'+'a'+'no'='CYRANO'
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cyrano that I've seen before include "Long-nosed hero" , "- de Bergerac, large-nosed seventeenth century French writer" , "-- de Bergerac, French poet/soldier" .)
