Gray is one for example appearing in computer catalogue? (7)
I believe the answer is:
elegist
'gray' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how one could define the other.
'one for example appearing in computer catalogue?' is the wordplay.
'one for example' becomes 'eg'.
'appearing in' is an insertion indicator.
'computer' becomes 'e' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'catalogue?' becomes 'list' (catalogue is a kind of list).
'e'+'list'='elist'
'eg' put into 'elist' is 'ELEGIST'.
'is' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for elegist that I've seen before include "Gloomy poet" , "Mournful poet" , "Kind of writer" , "Writer of reflective poems" , "serious linesman" .)
