Ravel opera with prominent tango as result of new arrangement (15)
I believe the answer is:
reapportionment
'result of new arrangement' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'ravel opera with prominent tango' is the wordplay.
'ravel' indicates an anagram (I've seen this in other clues).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'tango' becomes 'T' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'opera' after 'prominent' is 'prominentopera'.
'prominentopera' is an anagram of 'reapportionmen'.
'reapportionmen'+'t'='REAPPORTIONMENT'
'as' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
