Describing the stripper in variety act for this entertainment (7)
I believe the answer is:
cabaret
'this entertainment' is the definition.
(cabaret is a kind of entertainment)
'describing the stripper in variety act' is the wordplay.
'describing' is an insertion indicator (describe can mean to form the outline of).
'the stripper in variety' becomes 'bare' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'act' becomes 'CAT' (CAT is an example).
'bare' placed into 'cat' is 'CABARET'.
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cabaret that I've seen before include "Nightclub entertainment, floor show" , "Entertainment at night club" , "Variety entertainment" , "Floor-show as in nightclub" , "Entertainment provided in a nightclub" .)
