Relative of Shakespearean fairy in more imposing surroundings (11)
I believe the answer is:
grandmother
'relative' is the definition.
(I know that grandmother is a type of relative)
'of shakespearean fairy in more imposing surroundings' is the wordplay.
'of' becomes 'o''.
'shakespearean fairy' becomes 'mth' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'more imposing' becomes 'grander' (I've seen this in another clue).
'surroundings' indicates putting letters inside.
'o' going into 'mth' is 'moth'.
'moth' put into 'grander' is 'GRANDMOTHER'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for grandmother that I've seen before include "Older relative" , "See 22" , "Female ancestor" , "Relation" , "Mum's mum" .)
