New star of music and painting (4)
I believe the answer is:
arts
'music and painting' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'new star' is the wordplay.
'new' is an anagram indicator.
'star' is an anagram of 'ARTS'.
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for arts that I've seen before include "Drawing, painting, etc" , "Aesthetic pursuits or creations" , "A degree" , "Literature, music etc." , "Tricks" .)
