Claudio always on time through two days and one more (10)
I believe the answer is:
monteverdi
'claudio' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'always on time through two days and one more' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'always' could be 'ever' (synonyms) and 'ever' is found in the answer.
'on' is present in the answer.
'time' could be 't' (abbreviation) and 't' is present in the answer.
'days' could be 'd' (abbreviation for days) and 'd' is located in the answer.
'one' could be 'i' (Roman numeral) and 'i' is found within the answer.
'more' could be 'm' and 'm' is found in the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for monteverdi that I've seen before include "Claudio --, 16th-17th century Italian composer" , "C Sixteen-Seventeen Italian composer (Orfeo)" , "Italian scorer" , "One composer" , "Composer of "Orpheus"" .)
