Incident Elgar associated with pomp? (12)
I believe the answer is:
circumstance
'pomp?' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'incident elgar associated with' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'with' could be 'cum' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'cum' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for circumstance that I've seen before include "Happening" , "Situation" , "Condition - associated with 1 down" , "to go with pomp" , "Pomp and - (Elgar)" .)
