Part of novel destined for one with seniority? (6)
I believe the answer is:
eldest
'one with seniority?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'part of novel destined for' is the wordplay.
'part of' indicates a hidden word.
'ELDEST' is hidden in the letters of 'novel destined for'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for eldest that I've seen before include "Most senior in age" , "Of greatest age" , "Most senior (E, not O)" , "Most advanced in years" , "Most senior of a group" .)
