Source of wisdom, underground worker, Victor, with answer (7)
I believe the answer is:
minerva
'source of wisdom underground' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'worker victor with answer' is the wordplay.
'worker' becomes 'miner' (miner is a kind of worker).
'victor' becomes 'V' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'answer' becomes 'a' (abbreviation eg in Q and A).
'miner'+'v'+'a'='MINERVA'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for minerva that I've seen before include "female of great wisdom" , "Roman counterpart of Athene" , "Roman goddess of learning" , "Divine female" , "Roman goddess of crafts and wisdom - a vermin (anag)" .)
