German slim and well-to-do (8)
I believe the answer is:
dietrich
'german' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'slim and well-to-do' is the wordplay.
'slim' becomes 'diet' (diet can mean to slim down).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'well-to-do' becomes 'rich' (similar in meaning).
'diet'+'rich'='DIETRICH'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dietrich that I've seen before include "Marlene . . . . . . . ., late German star of stage and screen" , "FILMSTAR" , "Marlene . . . . . . . . was a famous film star" , "Marlene ... old film star" , "Marlene ..., German-born film star" .)
