Merry character in operetta? (5)
I believe the answer is:
widow
This clue could be a double definition.
'merry character' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'operetta?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how one could define the other.
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for widow that I've seen before include "Woman who has lost her husband" , "Relict" , "Black -----, cannibalistic venomous spider" , "One losing husband" , "Woman whose husband has died" .)
