Drama chosen for its display of virility (5)
I believe the answer is:
macho
'its display of virility' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'drama chosen' is the wordplay.
'MACHO' is hidden within the letters.
However, I am not sure how the hidden word is indicated.
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for macho that I've seen before include "Excessively male" , "Typically tough (guy)" , "Affectedly virile" , "red-blooded" , "Showily virile" .)
