Blind adherents to Polish leader and craftsmen (9)
I believe the answer is:
partisans
'blind adherents' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'polish leader and craftsmen' is the wordplay.
'polish leader' becomes 'p' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'craftsmen' becomes 'artisans' ('artisan' can be a synonym of 'craftsman').
'p'+'artisans'='PARTISANS'
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
