Mostly five-star dancing line in Glastonbury? (8)
I believe the answer is:
festival
'glastonbury?' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'mostly five-star dancing line' is the wordplay.
'mostly' means to remove the last letter (most but not all of the word).
'dancing' is an anagram indicator.
'line' becomes 'l' (used when specifying particular lines from a poem).
'five'+'star'='fivestar'
'fivestar' with its last letter taken away is 'fivesta'.
'fivesta' anagrammed gives 'festiva'.
'festiva'+'l'='FESTIVAL'
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for festival that I've seen before include "Edinburgh's summer event" , "Holy day" , "Carnival or jamboree" , "Day or time of celebration" , "Gala" .)
