Tear entrance off for entertainer (8)
I believe the answer is:
toreador
'entertainer' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'tear entrance off for' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'for' could be 'to' (eg both can mean 'in the opinion of') and 'to' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for toreador that I've seen before include "Man honoured to be given an ear" , "One who fights bulls" , "one features in The Ring" , "Mounted bullfighter" , "Bullfighter in Carmen" .)
