All-round evidence of saintliness (4)
I believe the answer is:
halo
'saintliness' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both human attributes as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'all-round evidence of' is the wordplay.
'all-round' is a reversal indicator.
'evidence' becomes 'lah' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'of' becomes 'o''.
'lah' reversed gives 'hal'.
'hal'+'o'='HALO'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for halo that I've seen before include "Light around sun, saint" , "Circle of (holy) light" , "Luminous ring" , "Circle over a saint" , "Aura representing saintliness" .)
