Element of renunciation for devoted person (3)
I believe the answer is:
nun
'devoted person' is the definition.
'nun' can be an answer for 'person' (nun is a kind of person). I am not sure about the 'devoted' bit.
'element of renunciation for' is the wordplay.
'element of' indicates a hidden word (I've seen this in other clues).
'NUN' is hidden within 'renunciation for'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for nun that I've seen before include "Member of religious order" , "Devout woman" , "She's made vows" , "Mother Superior, perhaps" , "Religious woman, a palindrome" .)
