Empty three-master of the late Renaissance? (7)
I believe the answer is:
baroque
'empty three-master of the late renaissance?' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'empty' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'empty' could be 'o' and 'o' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'barque' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for baroque that I've seen before include "With elaborate ornamentation" , "Ornamental style" , "Ornate architectural style" , "Highly ornate in style" , "Florid" .)
