Lover's air to a man intoxicated? (9)
I believe the answer is:
inamorata
'lover's' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'air to a man intoxicated?' is the wordplay.
'intoxicated?' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'intoxicated' mean this).
'air'+'to'+'a'+'man'='airtoaman'
'airtoaman' is an anagram of 'INAMORATA'.
(Other definitions for inamorata that I've seen before include "A woman loved" , "6 across [BOSOM] friend" , "Female lover" , "loved one" , "Someone fancies her" .)
