Catch a Romeo during play dwelling on a heavenly body? (9)
I believe the answer is:
planetary
'catch a romeo during play dwelling on a heavenly body?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'catch a romeo during play' is the wordplay.
'catch' becomes 'net' (net can mean to catch).
'romeo' becomes 'r' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'during' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'net'+'a'+'r'='netar'
'netar' going into 'play' is 'PLANETARY'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for planetary that I've seen before include "Of Mars and Uranus, say" , "Relating to bodies in the solar system" , "Of any heavenly body moving round the sun" .)
