Who sought solitude in dress circle (5)
I believe the answer is:
garbo
'who sought solitude' is the definition.
I know that 'solitude' relates to this answer.
'dress circle' is the wordplay.
'dress' becomes 'garb' (synonyms).
'circle' becomes 'O' (O is a circle).
'garb'+'o'='GARBO'
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for garbo that I've seen before include "Female player once" , "Reclusive film star" , "film star? Yes and no" , "Swedish actress who wanted to be alone" , "She sought solitude" .)
