Nominally a horn composition (5)
I believe the answer is:
norah
'nominally a horn composition' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'a horn composition' is the wordplay.
'composition' indicates anagramming the letters (letters arranged or composed in a different order).
'a'+'horn'='ahorn'
'ahorn' is an anagram of 'NORAH'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for norah that I've seen before include "Batty woman" , "Girl" , "Girl's name" .)
