This naked boy turned up and shot Spanish gent (7)
I believe the answer is:
hidalgo
'this naked' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'boy turned up and shot spanish gent' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'boy' could be 'dal' and 'dal' is located in the answer.
'shot' could be 'go' (both can mean an attempt) and 'go' is present in the answer.
'gent' could be 'hi' and 'hi' is located in the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hidalgo that I've seen before include "Spanish aristocrat" , "Pachuca is capital of this Mexican state" , "Spanish gentleman" , "Spanish nobleman" , "Grandee" .)
