Third character in Enid Blyton novel about international aristocracy (8)
I believe the answer is:
nobility
'aristocracy' is the definition.
(synonyms)
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for nobility that I've seen before include "Toffs" , "Aristocrats generally" , "Persons of title" , "Peerage" , "Privileged class holding hereditary titles" .)
