Flipping Dada paintings in a class of their own? (5)
I believe the answer is:
apart
'a class of their own?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'flipping dada paintings' is the wordplay.
'flipping' says the letters should be written backwards.
'dada' becomes 'pa' (synonyms).
'paintings' becomes 'art' (painting is a type of artwork).
'pa' backwards is 'ap'.
'ap'+'art'='APART'
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for apart that I've seen before include "Asunder" , "divorced" , "First Christmas present from my love" , "in bits" , "in isolation" .)
