Desdemona's husband (7)
I believe the answer is:
othello
'desdemona's husband' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for othello that I've seen before include "Dramatic work" , "Shakespeare's tragic Moor who killed his wife" , "Eponymous hero" , "Desdemona's husband" , "Shakespearean role" .)
