Aristo with unusual male name? (8)
I believe the answer is:
nobleman
'name?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'aristo with unusual male' is the wordplay.
'aristo' becomes 'noble' (an aristocrat).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'unusual male' becomes 'man' (man is a kind of male. I am not sure about the 'unusual' bit.).
'noble'+'man'='NOBLEMAN'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for nobleman that I've seen before include "Member of the aristocracy" , "I have a title" , "Member of peerage" , "Male aristocrat" , "Peer (of realm)" .)
