Now and then feels Yasmin ain't in a happy place (7)
I believe the answer is:
elysian
'in a happy place' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'now and then feels yasmin ain't' is the wordplay.
'now and then' means one should take alternating letters (letters taken on a regular basis, now and then).
'feels'+'yasmin'+'aint'='feelsyasminaint'
The alternate letters of 'feelsyasminaint' are 'ELYSIAN'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for elysian that I've seen before include "... Fields, final resting place of the souls of Greek heroes" , "Any isle (anag.)" , "Like paradise" , "Blissful, like the ....... Fields of Greek myth" , "glorious" .)
