Old German prince dropping round with a complex woman? (7)
I believe the answer is:
electra
'a complex woman?' is the definition.
(woman after whom the Electra Complex is named)
'old german prince dropping round with' is the wordplay.
'old' becomes 'o' (common abbreviation eg in OE for Old English).
'german prince' becomes 'elector' (I've seen this before).
'dropping' suggests deleting specific letters.
'round with' becomes 'a' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'elector' with 'o' taken away is 'electr'.
'electr'+'a'='ELECTRA'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for electra that I've seen before include "Sort of complex" , "female in tragedy" , "titled lady" , "Greek mythic woman has an odd Celt ear" , "Daughter of Agamemnon and Clytemnestra (who has a complex?)" .)
