Real new role? (4)
I believe the answer is:
lear
'role?' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'real new' is the wordplay.
'new' is an anagram indicator.
'real' anagrammed gives 'LEAR'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lear that I've seen before include "Mad king" , "Tragic king in play" , "Tragic Shakepearean king, for real" , "Tragic Shakespearian king" , "See 12" .)
