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 tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'she carry on in ancient egypt?' is the wordplay.
'she' becomes 'Clo'.
'carry' indicates putting letters inside.
'on in ancient egypt?' becomes 'e' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'clo' placed around '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" .)
