Maybe a corny name for a nosy character (6)
I believe the answer is:
cyrano
'name for a nosy character' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'maybe a corny' is the wordplay.
'maybe' indicates anagramming the letters.
'a'+'corny'='acorny'
'acorny' with letters rearranged gives 'CYRANO'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cyrano that I've seen before include "-- de Bergerac, French poet/soldier" , "Long-nosed hero" , "- de Bergerac, large-nosed seventeenth century French writer" .)
