Scent navy being upset about end of admiral - this one? (6)
I believe the answer is:
nelson
'scent navy being upset about end of admiral this one?' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer. I also know that 'admiral' relates to this answer.
'scent navy being upset about end of admiral' is the wordplay.
'scent' becomes 'nose' (nose can mean the scent of a wine).
'navy' becomes 'N' (common abbreviation eg in RN Royal Navy).
'being upset' is a reversal indicator.
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'end of' suggests the final letters.
The last letter of 'admiral' is 'l'.
'nose'+'n'='nosen'
'nosen' backwards is 'neson'.
'neson' enclosing 'l' is 'NELSON'.
Can you help me to learn more?
