Claude Monet's spirit (5)
I believe the answer is:
demon
'spirit' is the definition.
(I know that demon is a type of evil spirit)
'claude monet's' is the wordplay.
'DEMON' is hidden within the letters.
But, I am uncertain how the hidden word is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for demon that I've seen before include "Imp" , "Inspiring force" , "Wizard" , "Fiend, devil" , "Evil spirit or cruel person" .)
