Recount a bit of rigmarole funnily? I may! (9)
I believe the answer is:
raconteur
'i may' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how one could define the other.
'recount a bit of rigmarole funnily?' is the wordplay.
'bit of' says to take the initial letters.
'funnily?' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'funnily' mean this).
The first letter of 'rigmarole' is 'r'.
'recount'+'a'+'r'='recountar'
'recountar' is an anagram of 'RACONTEUR'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for raconteur that I've seen before include "One can relate well" , "entertaining his relations!" , "He tells a story well" , "One relates" , "A good teller of tales" .)
