One living through mutated virus getting very yellow (8)
I believe the answer is:
survivor
'one living' is the definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.
'mutated virus getting very yellow' is the wordplay.
'mutated' is an anagram indicator.
'getting' says to put letters next to each other.
'very' becomes 'v' (abbreviation).
'yellow' becomes 'or' (heraldic term).
'virus' anagrammed gives 'survi'.
'survi'+'v'+'or'='SURVIVOR'
'through' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for survivor that I've seen before include "One remaining alive" , "One who comes through difficulties" , "One still alive" , "One staying the course" , "One continuing to live" .)
