Barbie almost ravaged religious type (5)
I believe the answer is:
rabbi
'religious type' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'barbie almost ravaged' is the wordplay.
'almost' means to remove the last letter (most of the word but not all of it).
'ravaged' indicates an anagram.
'barbie' with its last letter taken away is 'barbi'.
'barbi' with letters rearranged gives 'RABBI'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rabbi that I've seen before include "Religious scholar" , "Religious person" , "Hebrew teacher" , "Blue" , "Jewish religious teacher" .)
