One gets a ring from Karen Adams (5)
I believe the answer is:
arena
'one gets a ring' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'from karen adams' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'ARENA' can be found hidden inside 'karen adams'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for arena that I've seen before include "Performance space" , "park" , "Place for public contests" , "dramatic situation" , "Sphere of action" .)
