Marriage is hateful, confining female entertainer (6)
I believe the answer is:
geisha
'female entertainer' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'marriage is hateful confining' is the wordplay.
'GEISHA' is hidden within the letters.
But, I am not sure how this is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for geisha that I've seen before include "Hostess in a kimono" , "Japanese hostess who entertains men" , "Japanese woman trained to be a male companion" , "Japanese woman, trained to entertain men" , "Professional female companion for Japanese men" .)
