Rugby player one seen in pantomime (9)
I believe the answer is:
harlequin
This could be a double definition.
'rugby player' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'one seen in pantomime' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how one could define the other.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for harlequin that I've seen before include "Brightly-coloured - Columbine's partner in pantomime" , "Pantomime character in a tight spangled costume" , "Spotted dog < with clown" , "Commedia dell'arte clown" , "Character in a diamond-patterned costume - variegated" .)
