Greek party with wealth not half evident (5)
I believe the answer is:
doric
'evident' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'greek party with wealth not half' is the wordplay.
'greek party' becomes 'do' (do is a kind of party. I am not sure about the 'greek' bit.).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'wealth' becomes 'riches' (synonyms).
'not half' means to take half the letters.
'riches' with half the letters taken is 'ric'.
'do'+'ric'='DORIC'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for doric that I've seen before include "Type of classical architecture" , "Relating to a classical order of architecture" , "In a classical Greek style of architecture" , "Greek architectural style" , "Denoting a classic Greek style" .)
