Jezebel succeeded with musical instrument (8)
I believe the answer is:
strumpet
'jezebel' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'succeeded with musical instrument' is the wordplay.
'succeeded with' becomes 's' (genealogical abbreviation. I am not sure about the 'with' bit.).
'musical instrument' becomes 'trumpet' (trumpet is a kind of musical instrument).
's'+'trumpet'='STRUMPET'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for strumpet that I've seen before include "Trumpets for loose woman" , "Promiscuous woman" , "Lady of disrepute" , "'... City' (novel by James Plunkett)" , "promiscuous, lady" .)
