Believe our leader before current uprising (6)
I believe the answer is:
credit
'believe' is the definition.
(I know that believe is a kind of credit)
'our leader before current uprising' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'leader' could be 'red' (red is a kind of leader) and 'red' is present in the answer.
'current' could be 'i' (symbol for electric current) and 'i' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ct' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for credit that I've seen before include "gives you a good reputation" , "Direct (anag) - tick" , "Honour or reliability - believe" , "entry in cashbook" , "Ascribe" .)
