Name of one with no trust initially in God? (8)
I believe the answer is:
identity
'name' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.
'of one with no trust initially in god?' is the wordplay.
'of one' becomes 'i' (I've seen this in other clues).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'initially' says to take the initial letters.
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'god?' becomes 'deity' ('deity' can be a synonym of 'god'**).
The initial letters of 'no trust' is 'nt'.
'nt' going within 'deity' is 'dentity'.
'i'+'dentity'='IDENTITY'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for identity that I've seen before include "Uniqueness" , "A person's individuality" , "Individual characteristics by which one is recognised" , "character" , "Individuality, personality" .)
