Review of El Cid clip starts with cinematic intensity of one hanging outside in the cold (6)
I believe the answer is:
icicle
'one hanging outside in the cold' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how one could define the other.
'review of el cid clip starts with cinematic intensity' is the wordplay.
'review of' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'clip' means to remove the last letter (I've seen 'clipped' mean this).
'starts with' says to take the initial letters.
The initial letters of 'cinematic intensity' is 'ci'.
'el'+'cid'='elcid'
'elcid' with its final letter removed is 'elci'.
'elci'+'ci'='elcici'
'elcici' backwards is 'ICICLE'.
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for icicle that I've seen before include "Hanging spike of frozen water" , "Tree D [DECORATION]" , "Frozen finger of liquid" , "Spear of ice" , "Hanging ice spike" .)
