Welshman capturing El Salvador? (4)
I believe the answer is:
dali
'salvador?' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'welshman capturing el' is the wordplay.
'welshman' becomes 'Dai' (Welsh name).
'capturing' is an insertion indicator.
'el' becomes 'l' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'dai' enclosing 'l' is 'DALI'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dali that I've seen before include "Controversial painter" , "Salvador --, twentieth century Spanish surrealist painter" , "Salvador -, twentieth century artist" , "Salvador among artists" , "Surrealist Spanish painter, d. 1989" .)
