'redgrave' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'disguised as evans?' is the wordplay.
'disguised' indicates anagramming the letters.
'as'+'evans'='asevans'
'asevans' with letters rearranged gives 'VANESSA'.
