Name of several physicians (5)
I believe the answer is:
ralph
'name' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'of several physicians' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates a hidden word.
'RALPH' is hidden in the letters of 'several physicians'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ralph that I've seen before include "Fellow's name" , "Man's name" , "Piggy's friend (Lord of the Flies); --- Vaughan Williams" , "N Waldo Emerson, nineteenth century US poet" , "Chap" .)
