Model's verse (3)
I believe the answer is:
ode
'verse' is the definition.
(ode is a type of poem or verse)
'model's' is the wordplay.
'ODE' is hidden in amongst the letters.
However, I'm not sure how this is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ode that I've seen before include "Poetic composition" , "Poem expressing noble feelings" , "A poem celebrating person or event" , "Sung poem" , "(Railway)system" .)
