Classical dish Chinese-American lawyer served up (6)
I believe the answer is:
adonis
'classical dish' is the definition.
'adonis' can be an answer for 'dish' (I've seen this before). I'm not sure about the 'classical' bit.
'chinese-american lawyer served up' is the wordplay.
'chinese' becomes 'sino' (prefix meaning 'Chinese').
'american lawyer' becomes 'DA' (abbreviation for 'District Attorney').
'served up' says the letters should be written backwards (in a down clue, letters go up).
'sino'+'da'='sinoda'
'sinoda' written backwards gives 'ADONIS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for adonis that I've seen before include "dish" , "lovely man" , "Handsome youth - said no (anag)" , "A very handsome ancient Greek" , "Hunk" .)
