Some cordon bleu master goes up and addresses American uncle formally? (6)
I believe the answer is:
samuel
'addresses american uncle formally?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'some cordon bleu master goes up' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates a hidden word (some parts of the word are used).
'goes up' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'leumas' is hidden in the letters of 'cordon bleu master'.
'leumas' in reverse letter order is 'SAMUEL'.
'and' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for samuel that I've seen before include "- Butler, author (Erewhon)" , "Prophet, anointed King David" , "XWD SETTER" , "-- Beckett, Irish dramatist" , "- Beckett, Irish novelist/dramatist" .)
