Did she carry on in ancient Egypt? (4)
I believe the answer is:
cleo
'did' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'she carry on in ancient egypt?' is the wordplay.
'she' becomes 'Clo'.
'carry' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'on in ancient egypt?' becomes 'e' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'clo' enclosing 'e' is 'CLEO'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cleo that I've seen before include "Jazz singer, ___ Laine" , "She ruled" , "Dame Laine" , "Ms Laine - one of the 14 films" , "Woman" .)
