Could maid start to become a playwright? (9)
I believe the answer is:
dramatist
'a playwright?' is the definition.
(I know that playwright can be written as dramatist)
'could maid start to' is the wordplay.
'maid start' can be anagrammed to 'DRAMATIST'.
However, I am not clear how the anagram is indicated.
'become' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dramatist that I've seen before include "Wordsmith" , "man of theatre" , "Shakespeare, say" , "O'Neill or O'Casey, for example" , "One who writes plays" .)
