Old priest in the limelight more than once (3)
I believe the answer is:
eli
'old priest' is the definition.
(Biblical character)
'the limelight more than once' is the wordplay.
'ELI' is hidden in amongst the letters.
However, I am unsure how the hidden word is indicated.
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for eli that I've seen before include "Priest, teacher of Samuel" , "High priest in the Book of Samuel" , "- Whitney invented the cotton gin in seventeen ninety three" , "Distort then untruth to get a Biblical character" , "Old Testament high priest" .)
