Singer finds meaning (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tenor

This clue is a double definition.

'singer' is the first definition.
(I know that tenor is a type of singer)

'meaning' is the second definition.
(tenor can mean meaning or significance)

'finds' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for tenor that I've seen before include "direction" , "Pavarotti, maybe" , "Eg, Placido Domingo" , "Drift of thought" , "character" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
