Played by musician just starting out? (5)
I believe the answer is:
intro
This clue could be a double definition.
'played by musician' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.
'starting out?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.
'just' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for intro that I've seen before include "Start of work" , "Opening bars of a song" , "Opening passage (abbr)" , "First notes" , "Musical opening" .)
