Mega popular German bands (5)
I believe the answer is:
large
'mega popular german bands' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'mega popular german bands' is the wordplay.
'bands' says the answer is hidden in the clue (the answer forms a stripe in the letters).
'LARGE' is hidden within 'mega popular german'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for large that I've seen before include "Of considerable size or extent" , "Lager (anag.)" , "Of great size" , "Tall" , "At which criminals possibly are free" .)
