Welshman has one victory, alternatively (4)
I believe the answer is:
ivor
'welshman' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'one victory alternatively' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'I' (Roman numeral).
'victory' becomes 'v'.
'alternatively' becomes 'or'.
'i'+'v'+'or'='IVOR'
'has' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ivor that I've seen before include "Online engine" , "Fellow" , "- Novello, actor/composer (We'll gather lilacs)" , "Cutler who was entertainingly eccentric" , "-- Novello, composer and actor" .)
