Reflecting Hamlet, perhaps term for that? (6)
I believe the answer is:
tragic
'term for that?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'reflecting hamlet perhaps' is the wordplay.
'reflecting' says the letters should be written backwards.
'hamlet' becomes 'cigar' (Hamlet is a brand of cigar).
'perhaps' becomes 't' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'cigar'+'t'='cigart'
'cigart' in reverse letter order is 'TRAGIC'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tragic that I've seen before include "Extremely sad and distressing" , "Exceedingly sad" , "Calamitous, very sad" , "Terrible" , "Terribly sad and distressing" .)
