Level with Adams partner (3)
I believe the answer is:
eve
'adams partner' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'level with' is the wordplay.
'with' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'EVE' is hidden within 'level'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for eve that I've seen before include "Day before Christmas" , "Woman in a happy place" , "'All About - - ' (Bette Davis film)" , "when it gets dark" , "Lady first appearing" .)
