Otherworldly appearance of padre involved with Lent (3,6)
I believe the answer is:
red planet
'otherworldly appearance' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.
'padre involved with lent' is the wordplay.
'involved with' indicates an anagram (involved can mean confusing or complex).
'padre' mixed up with 'lent' makes 'RED PLANET'.
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for red planet that I've seen before include "celestial body" , "Colourful description of Mars" , "one of our neighbours" , "Informal name for Mars" , "object in 21 [SPACE]" .)
