Person with insignificant role taken out of context? Rarely (5)
I believe the answer is:
extra
'person' is the definition.
(extra is a kind of person)
'of context? rarely' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'EXTRA' can be found hidden inside 'context rarely'.
'with insignificant role taken out' acts as a link.
This may not be right. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for extra that I've seen before include "bit-part player" , "Maybe wide" , "appearing in crowd scene" , "small-time actor" , "leg bye perhaps" .)
