A starry role, with moon involved? (10,5)
I believe the answer is:
astronomer royal
'a starry role with moon involved?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'a starry role with moon involved?' is the wordplay.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'involved?' indicates an anagram (involved can mean confusing or complex).
'starry'+'role'+'moon'='starryrolemoon'
'starryrolemoon' with letters rearranged gives 'stronomerroyal'.
'a'+'stronomerroyal'='ASTRONOMER ROYAL'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for astronomer royal that I've seen is " Appointed skywatcher".)
