Duke, perhaps, stealing wife from another one? (9)
I believe the answer is:
ellington
'duke' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'stealing wife from another one?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'from' could be 'in' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'in' is located in the answer.
'another' could be 'o' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'o' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'perhaps' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ellington that I've seen before include "Duke - (Mood Indigo)" , "One Duke" , "Duke (of jazz)" , "Duke --, twentieth century band leader" , "Musician" .)
