In short, a Simpsonian title? (4)
I believe the answer is:
bart
'in' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how one could define the other.
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bart that I've seen before include "Small title-holder being a brat" , "Homer's son" , "Branch of Islam" , "Son in The Simpsons" .)
