Barry or Miranda to be mirrored (4)
I believe the answer is:
otto
'barry or miranda' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'to be mirrored' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'to' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ot' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for otto that I've seen before include "Palindromic fragrance" , "Ger. name (palindrome)" , "Essential oil from flowers - German boy's name" , "____ Preminger, US film director born in Austria" , "- Preminger, Austrian-born US film producer" .)
