Bravo -- I have changed our way of acting (9)
I believe the answer is:
behaviour
'way of acting' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'bravo i have changed our' is the wordplay.
'bravo' becomes 'b' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'changed' is an anagram indicator.
'i'+'have'='ihave'
'ihave' with letters rearranged gives 'ehavi'.
'b'+'ehavi'+'our'='BEHAVIOUR'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for behaviour that I've seen before include "manners" , "Conduct - performance" , "Personal conduct" , "Comportment" , "Conduct, demeanour" .)
