'village' is the definition.

(Other definitions for hamlet that I've seen before include "Thelma (anag) - play" , "Shakespearean play" , "Village - tragedy" , "Danish king in play" , "Small village for Shakespeare prince" .)
(Other definitions for idiot that I've seen before include "Dunce" , "Dostoevsky hero" , "Silly person or dimwit" , "Stupid person" , "Clot" .)
