Bounteous activity by bad sailors? (6)
I believe the answer is:
mutiny
'bounteous activity' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for mutiny that I've seen before include "Rising, rebellion" , "Insurrection" , "Rebellion as on Bligh's Bounty" , "Open rebellion against constituted authority" , "Open rebellion by sailors or soldiers" .)
