Gold record-player with no ordinary remote (7)
I believe the answer is:
austere
'remote' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'gold record-player with no ordinary' is the wordplay.
'gold' becomes 'au' (Au is the chemical symbol for gold).
'record-player' becomes 'stereo' (I've seen this before).
'with no' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'ordinary' becomes 'o' (abbreviation e.g. O-Levels).
'stereo' with 'o' taken away is 'stere'.
'au'+'stere'='AUSTERE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for austere that I've seen before include "Severe, lacking comforts" , "Without luxury or ornament" , "Stark" , "Plain, cold" , "not of luxury type" .)
