Tell men to remove trademark for US talk show (5)
I believe the answer is:
ellen
'us talk show' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'tell men to remove trademark' is the wordplay.
'to remove' is a deletion indicator.
'trademark' becomes 'tm' (abbreviation for trademark).
'tell'+'men'='tellmen'
'tellmen' with 'tm' taken out is 'ELLEN'.
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ellen that I've seen before include "Woman" , "Girl" , "Dame - - Macarthur (naut.)" , "Terry perhaps" , "It could be Terry" .)
