Bandit spread out around English party (9)
I believe the answer is:
desperado
This clue might be a double definition.
'bandit' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'spread out around english party' is the second definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for desperado that I've seen before include "Bandit, outlaw" , "Reckless outlaw" , "Reckless person" , "Reckless guy" , "reckless type" .)
