Name of man involved with Don and Mary? (7)
I believe the answer is:
raymond
'name' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'man involved with don and mary?' is the wordplay.
'man' becomes 'm' (M is an abbreviation for male or masculine).
'involved with' is an anagram indicator (involved can mean confusing or complex).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'mary?' becomes 'ray' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'm' with its letters anagrammed with 'don' can make 'mond'.
'mond' put after 'ray' is 'RAYMOND'.
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for raymond that I've seen is " Name of fellow".)
