Bold manner of a daughter in good show! (7)
I believe the answer is:
bravado
'bold manner' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how they can define each other.
'a daughter in good show' is the wordplay.
'daughter' becomes 'd' (genealogical abbreviation).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'good show' becomes 'bravo'.
'a'+'d'='ad'
'ad' put inside 'bravo' is 'BRAVADO'.
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bravado that I've seen before include "Impressive boldness" , "Show of boldness to impress" , "Swaggering confidence" , "Vaunted courage" , "A show of boldness or bluster" .)
