Enterprise possibly shown by trendy celebrities previously (8)
I believe the answer is:
starship
'enterprise possibly shown' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'trendy celebrities previously' is the wordplay.
'trendy' becomes 'hip' (both can mean fashionable).
'celebrities' becomes 'stars' (star can mean a famous person).
'previously' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'hip' after 'stars' is 'STARSHIP'.
'by' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for starship that I've seen before include "TV's USS Enterprise, for instance" , "The Enterprise, commanded by Captain Jean-Luc Picard, was one" , "one in SF movie?" , "Enterprise on show" , "Enterprise perhaps" .)
