Some military advisors lying about global revolution (3)
I believe the answer is:
day
'global revolution' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.
'some military advisors lying about' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (some parts of the word are used).
'about' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'yad' is hidden in the letters of 'military advisors lying'.
'yad' backwards is 'DAY'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for day that I've seen before include "24-hour period" , "Period of time" , "24 hour period" , "Born yesterday" , "24 hours" .)
