Leave and spot someone expected to appear? (5)
I believe the answer is:
godot
'someone expected to appear?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.
'leave and spot' is the wordplay.
'leave' becomes 'go' (to go is to depart or leave).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'spot' becomes 'dot' (I've seen this before).
'go'+'dot'='GODOT'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for godot that I've seen before include "Two tramps awaited him (Beckett)" , "someone waited for in theatre" , "Samuel Beckett play ''Waiting for . . . . . '' (5)" , "he isn't going to come!" , "One theatrically waited for" .)
