Tipsy choir hiding violent person (6)
I believe the answer is:
psycho
'violent person' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'tipsy choir hiding' is the wordplay.
'hiding' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'PSYCHO' is hidden in the letters of 'tipsy choir'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for psycho that I've seen before include "Loony" , "Alfred Hitchcock thriller" , "Hitchcock classic" , "Hitchcock's 1960 classic chiller" , "nuts" .)
