Arrived with artist, snapped by this? (6)
I believe the answer is:
camera
'snapped by this?' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'arrived with artist' is the wordplay.
'arrived' becomes 'came' (come can mean to appear or arrive).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'artist' becomes 'RA' (Royal Academician, member of Royal Academy of Arts).
'came'+'ra'='CAMERA'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for camera that I've seen before include "In - means in private" , "Snapper's kit" , "A court held in it is private" , "in this, secretly" , "Photographic equipment" .)
