American communist accepting he is led (7)
I believe the answer is:
ushered
'is led' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'american communist accepting he' is the wordplay.
'american' becomes 'us'.
'communist' becomes 'red' (red is a kind of communist).
'accepting' is an insertion indicator.
'us'+'red'='usred'
'usred' enclosing 'he' is 'USHERED'.
(Other definitions for ushered that I've seen before include "Led" , "Showed to a seat" , "Conducted" , "Showed people to seats as in cinemas or theatre" , "Escorted" .)
