McCartney from Liverpool in dancehall (5)
I believe the answer is:
linda
'mccartney' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'from liverpool in dancehall' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates a hidden word.
'LINDA' can be found hidden inside 'liverpool in dancehall'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for linda that I've seen before include "23 [LOVELACE]" , "lady" , "girl" , "Girl's name (I, not Y)" , "- Ronstadt, US singer" .)
