Befuddled hypnotist forgetting first language (6)
I believe the answer is:
python
'language' is the definition.
(python is a programming language)
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for python that I've seen before include "Constrictor snake" , "Heavy non-venomous snake" , "Large tropical snake that suffocates its prey" , "Heavy-bodied snake" , "Type of snake" .)
