Spanish number quietly modelled without complaint (9)
I believe the answer is:
unopposed
'spanish number quietly modelled without complaint' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'spanish number quietly modelled without' is the wordplay.
'spanish number' becomes 'u-no' (I've seen this in another clue).
'quietly' becomes 'p' (musical symbol).
'modelled' becomes 'posed' (model and pose are synonyms).
'without' indicates putting letters inside.
'p' placed into 'posed' is 'pposed'.
'uno'+'pposed'='UNOPPOSED'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for unopposed that I've seen before include "Without resistance or other contenders" , "Assembly" , "Nem con" , "Without challenge" , "so carried?" .)
