An aid for a huntress? (5)
I believe the answer is:
diana
'huntress?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'an aid for a' is the wordplay.
'an aid for' becomes 'dian' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'dian'+'a'='DIANA'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for diana that I've seen before include "British princess" , "Dame - Rigg, actress" , "Roman goddess of the hunt, or tragic English princess" , "Roman goddess of the moon and hunting" , ""The People's Princess"" .)
