You would love to be shot by him (5)
I believe the answer is:
cupid
'love to be shot by him' is the definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.
'you would' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'you' could be 'u' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'u' is located in the answer.
'would' could be 'd' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'd' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cupid that I've seen before include "godlike figure" , "Boy with wings, bow, arrow" , "boy with little bow" , "Roman Eros" , "Boy symbol of love" .)
