Gold accepted by first person to get gold for acting great (6)
I believe the answer is:
moreau
'acting great' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'gold accepted by first person to get gold' is the wordplay.
'gold' becomes 'or' ('or' is the heraldic name for gold).
'accepted by' is an insertion indicator.
'first person' becomes 'me' (first-person pronoun).
'to get' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'gold' becomes 'Au' (Au is the chemical symbol for gold).
'or' placed inside 'me' is 'more'.
'more'+'au'='MOREAU'
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for moreau that I've seen before include "The Island of Doctor - (H. G. Wells)" , "Jeanne - - , Fr. actress" , "Gustave -, Fr. Symbolist painter; am roue (anag.)" , "Noisily celebrate" , "The Island of Dr. - (H.G. Wells)" .)
