Deep-voiced female singer: what’s she like as a whole? (10)
I believe the answer is:
altogether
'as a whole?' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'deep-voiced female singer what's she' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'female' could be 'her' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'her' is present in the answer.
'singer' could be 'alto' (type of singing voice) and 'alto' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'get' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'like' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for altogether that I've seen before include "Completely, in total" , "Completely, on the whole" , "Wholly" , "totally" , "nude in this" .)
