Lovely call heard (5)
I believe the answer is:
belle
'lovely' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'call heard' is the wordplay.
'call' becomes 'bell' (I've seen this before).
'heard' becomes 'e' (I've seen this in other clues).
'bell'+'e'='BELLE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for belle that I've seen before include "Beautiful woman - of the ball?" , "Beautiful girl" , "Handsome lady of the Ball?" , "Beautiful female" , "Most attractive girl" .)
