Intrinsic to Satie, a rare musical gift (3)
I believe the answer is:
ear
'musical gift' is the definition.
(a talented musician has 'the ear')
'intrinsic to satie a rare' is the wordplay.
'EAR' is hidden in amongst the letters.
However, I am unsure how this is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ear that I've seen before include "Hammer in this" , "Listening organ" , "cut" , "Spike of, eg, corn" , "See 8" .)
