City editor has not moved during Monday (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hamilton

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'during monday' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'city editor has not moved' is the wordplay.
'city editor' becomes 'hamil' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'has' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'moved' indicates an anagram.
'not' is an anagram of 'ton'.
'hamil'+'ton'='HAMILTON'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hamilton that I've seen before include "Lady mistress of Napoleon" , "Lady . . . . . . . . was Lord Nelson's lover" , "Emma -, Nelson's mistress" , "F1 champion" , "Motorist" .)
