One who’s back in Poirot cast? (5)
I believe the answer is:
actor
'one' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how they can define each other.
'back in poirot cast?' is the wordplay.
'back' says the letters should be written backwards.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'rotca' can be found hidden inside 'poirot cast'.
'rotca' backwards is 'ACTOR'.
'who's' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for actor that I've seen before include "Theatrical player" , "I pretend" , "Croat (anag.)" , "Player - performer" , "Performer in drama" .)
