This provides a ring, one hears, for a pretty girl (5)
I believe the answer is:
belle
This clue might be a double definition.
'this provides a ring one hears' is the first definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'pretty girl' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'for a' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for belle that I've seen before include "Beautiful female" , "Pretty girl" , "Attractive woman" , "Girl who's fetching" , "Handsome lady of the Ball?" .)
