Old Greek goat tickling nurses (5)
I believe the answer is:
attic
'old greek' is the definition.
'attic' can be an answer for 'greek' (Attic is an example). I'm not certain of the 'old' bit.
'goat tickling nurses' is the wordplay.
'nurses' says the answer is hidden in the clue (nurse can mean holding closely).
'ATTIC' is hidden in the letters of 'goat tickling'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for attic that I've seen before include "Of Athens" , "room with lots of junk?" , "Ancient Greek dialect - top room" , "Top storey" , "Loft room" .)
