Knight once held up by Jedi, clearly (2,3)
I believe the answer is:
el cid
'knight' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'held up by jedi clearly' is the wordplay.
'up by' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'held' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'dicle' is hidden within 'jedi clearly'.
'dicle' in reverse letter order is 'EL CID'.
'once' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for el cid that I've seen before include "epic movie" , "Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar was his original name" , "Role of Charlton" , "C11 Spanish warrior hero" , "Historic fighter" .)
