King Henry having an artist over in boozer (7)
I believe the answer is:
pharaoh
'in boozer' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'king henry having an artist' is the wordplay.
'king henry' becomes 'phoh' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'having' is an insertion indicator.
'an' becomes 'a'.
'artist' becomes 'RA' (Royal Academician, member of Royal Academy of Arts).
'a'+'ra'='ara'
'phoh' going around 'ara' is 'PHARAOH'.
'over' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pharaoh that I've seen before include "Ancient Egyptian king" , "A Rameses maybe" , "Title of ancient Egyptian kings" , "Eg, Tutankhamen" , "Egyptian leader" .)
