Legal profession finally acquired an epithet for dramatist (3,4)
I believe the answer is:
the bard
'dramatist' is the definition.
(I know that The Bard is a dramatist)
'legal profession finally acquired' is the wordplay.
'legal profession' becomes 'the bar' (I've seen this in another clue).
'finally' suggests the final letters.
The final letter of 'acquired' is 'd'.
'thebar'+'d'='THE BARD'
'an epithet for' acts as a link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for the bard that I've seen is " Shakespeare".)
