Ring fan, say, of inaner plays by comedian (9)
I believe the answer is:
wagnerian
'ring fan say' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'inaner plays by comedian' is the wordplay.
'plays' is an anagram indicator.
'by' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'comedian' becomes 'wag' (I've seen this before).
'inaner' anagrammed gives 'nerian'.
'nerian' put after 'wag' is 'WAGNERIAN'.
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for wagnerian that I've seen before include "long and loud, perhaps?" , "like Siegfried" , "Massive, dramatic and emotionally intense - Reagan win (anag)" , "great and powerful" , "In the style of a German romantic composer" .)
