Old driver removed ring - he made a cycle of it (6)
I believe the answer is:
wagner
This might be a double definition.
'old driver' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'removed ring he made a cycle of it' is the second definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for wagner that I've seen before include "Noted German" , "German composer of The Flying Dutchman" , "Richard . . . . . . composer of 'The Flying Dutchman' and 'Lohengrin'" , "German opera composer" , "German composer of The Ring Cycle" .)
