Elizabeth Taylor initially accepting singular musical heart-throb from the past (5)
I believe the answer is:
liszt
'musical heart-throb from the past' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'elizabeth taylor initially accepting singular' is the wordplay.
'elizabeth' becomes 'liz' (short for Elizabeth).
'initially' says to take the initial letters.
'accepting' means one lot of letters goes inside another (inserted letters are accepted).
'singular' becomes 's' (abbreviation in grammar).
The initial letter of 'taylor' is 't'.
'liz'+'t'='lizt'
'lizt' enclosing 's' is 'LISZT'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for liszt that I've seen before include "Franz ---, Hung. composer" , "Hungarian romantic composer" , "with his partner, drunk?" , "Brahms and - is rhyming slang for drunk" , "Franz -, Hung. pianist" .)
