Bounteous activity by bad sailors? (6)
I believe the answer is:
mutiny
'bounteous activity' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for mutiny that I've seen before include "Rising, rebellion" , "Insurrection" , "Rebellion as on Bligh's Bounty" , "Open rebellion against constituted authority" , "Open rebellion by sailors or soldiers" .)
