Beauty queen gets out of dress and stands (6)
I believe the answer is:
adonis
'beauty' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'queen gets out of dress and stands' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'gets' could be 'is' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'is' is located in the answer.
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is found in the answer.
an anagram of 'and' is 'adn' which is located in the remaining letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for adonis that I've seen before include "No aids (anag)" , "male looker" , "Handsome youth - said no (anag)" , "Extremely attractive young man from Greek mythology" , "In Greek myth, handsome youth beloved of Aphrodite" .)
