One's a leader in Mecca? (4)
I believe the answer is:
imam
'one's a leader in mecca?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'one's a leader in mecca?' is the wordplay.
'one's' becomes 'I'm' ('one is' is a formal way of saying 'I am').
'leader in' indicates taking the first letters.
The initial letter of 'mecca' is 'm'.
'im'+'a'+'m'='IMAM'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for imam that I've seen before include "Islamic religious leader" , "Authority on Islamic doctrine and law" , "Man who leads prayers in a mosque" , "Leader of prayers in mosque" , "Mosque's prayer leader" .)
