One getting a turn on stage in Othello (4)
I believe the answer is:
iago
'stage in othello' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'one getting a turn' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'getting' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'turn' becomes 'go' (a person's move in a board game).
'i'+'a'+'go'='IAGO'
'on' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for iago that I've seen before include "Othello's enemy" , "The villain who tricked Othello" , "Ancient role" , "Othello's Ancient" , "Evil character in Othello" .)
