Suitable name for a fine horsewoman? (8)
I believe the answer is:
arabella
'suitable name for a fine horsewoman?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'name for a fine horsewoman?' is the wordplay.
'name' becomes 'Ara'.
'for' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'a fine horsewoman?' becomes 'bella' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'ara'+'bella'='ARABELLA'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for arabella that I've seen before include "Richard Strauss opera" , "Girl" .)
