At sunrise, first lady briefly goes up to see bright object in the sky (5)
I believe the answer is:
venus
'see bright object in the sky' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'at sunrise first lady briefly goes up' is the wordplay.
'at sunrise' becomes 'sun' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'first lady' becomes 'eve' (Biblical first woman).
'briefly' means to remove the last letter.
'goes up' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'eve' with its last letter removed is 'ev'.
'sun'+'ev'='sunev'
'sunev' reversed gives 'VENUS'.
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for venus that I've seen before include "Second nearest planet to the sun" , "The embodiment of Love" , "Heavenly body" , "Roman goddess of love" , "not really a star" .)
