Beautiful woman sounding alarm (5)
I believe the answer is:
belle
This could be a double definition.
'beautiful woman' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'sounding alarm' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how they can define each other.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for belle that I've seen before include "Girl who's fetching" , "dish" , "Reigning beauty" , "Beautiful woman - of the ball?" , "Beautiful female" .)
