Who ultimately wants to be associated with aristocratic character? (4)
I believe the answer is:
snob
'aristocratic character?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'who ultimately wants to be associated with' is the wordplay.
'who' becomes 'nob' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'ultimately' indicates one should take the final letters.
'to be associated with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
The last letter of 'wants' is 's'.
'nob' after 's' is 'SNOB'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for snob that I've seen before include "One for whom social status matters" , "Looker-down on others" , "High-minded type" , "Stuck-up person" , "One attaching importance to social position" .)
