Artist Tracey from ’ere gets fame (8)
I believe the answer is:
eminence
'fame' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'artist tracey' is the wordplay.
'artist' becomes 'emin' (I've seen this before).
'tracey' becomes 'ence' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'emin'+'ence'='EMINENCE'
'from 'ere gets' acts as a link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for eminence that I've seen before include "greatness!" , "High status importance" , "Note - height" , "Position of higher distinction" , "State of distinction, like cardinal" .)
