Maybe single mother becomes prayer leader (4)
I believe the answer is:
imam
'prayer leader' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'maybe single mother' is the wordplay.
'maybe' becomes 'i' (I've seen this in other clues).
'single mother' becomes 'mam' (I've seen this in other clues. I am not sure about the 'single' bit.).
'i'+'mam'='IMAM'
'becomes' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for imam that I've seen before include "Muslim religious leader" , "Islamic religious leader" , "Moslem prayer leader" , "Muslim holy man" , "Muslim prayer leader" .)
