Elizabethan favourite in demo, we're told, for some (7)
I believe the answer is:
raleigh
'elizabethan' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for raleigh that I've seen before include "Elizabethan explorer" , "old naval hero" , "Did he fetch tobacco" , "English explorer" , "Sir Walter, favourite of Elizabeth I" .)
