High priest in the limelight once and again (3)
I believe the answer is:
eli
'high priest' is the definition.
(biblical figure)
'the limelight once and again' is the wordplay.
'ELI' is hidden within the letters.
However, I'm not sure how this is indicated.
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for eli that I've seen before include "- Whitney invented the cotton gin in seventeen ninety three" , "Priest at Shiloh (Samuel)" , "High priest in the Book of Samuel" , "Religious character" , "Teacher of prophet Samuel" .)
