Alessandro Scarlatti's first name (5)
I believe the answer is:
oscar
'name' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'alessandro scarlatti's' is the wordplay.
'OSCAR' is hidden in amongst the letters.
But, I am unsure how this is indicated.
'first' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for oscar that I've seen before include "letter read out on radio" , "Some players are given this" , "Film industry award" , "One close to Mike" , "Movie award, popularly called" .)
