Novelist left under blankets (6)
I believe the answer is:
bellow
'novelist' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'left under blankets' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'left' could be 'l' (common abbreviation) and 'l' is found within the answer.
'under' could be 'below' (synonyms) and 'below' is present in the leftover letters.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bellow that I've seen before include "Yell" , "Deep roar as of bull" , "Loud deep sound as by bull" , "Shout; Saul --, novelist" , "Loud and deep roar" .)
