Andromeda’s heart perhaps is for Perseus? (4)
I believe the answer is:
hero
'andromeda's' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.
'heart perhaps is for perseus?' is the wordplay.
'heart' indicates the central letters.
'is for perseus?' becomes 'ero' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
The middle of 'perhaps' is 'h'.
'h'+'ero'='HERO'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hero that I've seen before include "Principal male figure in a story" , "girl a ring" , "Man admired for courage and nobility" , "Leander's love" , "Exceptionally courageous person" .)
