Aristocrat from Salerno blessed (5)
I believe the answer is:
noble
'aristocrat' is the definition.
(I know that noble is a type of aristocrat)
'from salerno blessed' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates a hidden word.
'NOBLE' is hidden in the letters of 'salerno blessed'.
(Other definitions for noble that I've seen before include "Worthy" , "Having high moral character" , "aristocrat, maybe" , "Eminent" , "Former gold coin" .)
