One included among eminent women to manage rearing? (9)
I believe the answer is:
nursemaid
'one included among eminent women to manage rearing?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'one included among eminent women to manage rearing?' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'included among' is an insertion indicator.
'eminent women' becomes 'dames' (dame is a kind of woman. I am not sure about the 'eminent' bit.).
'to manage' becomes 'run' (both can mean to organise).
'rearing?' says the letters should be written in reverse (as in a horse rearing up).
'dames'+'run'='damesrun'
'i' inserted inside 'damesrun' is 'diamesrun'.
'diamesrun' reversed gives 'NURSEMAID'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for nursemaid that I've seen before include "One looking after children" , "tender" , "female carer" , "Woman employed to look after children" , "caretaker" .)
