Ability to entertain Spanish maiden who’s tipsy (11)
I believe the answer is:
showmanship
'ability' is the definition.
(showmanship is a kind of ability)
'spanish maiden who's tipsy' is the wordplay.
'maiden' becomes 'm' (cricket abbreviation).
'tipsy' indicates anagramming the letters.
'spanish'+'m'+'who'='spanishmwho'
'spanishmwho' anagrammed gives 'SHOWMANSHIP'.
'to entertain' acts as a link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for showmanship that I've seen before include "Talent for skilful display" , "Flamboyance, skilful display" .)
