Castro perhaps adroit moving across court (8)
I believe the answer is:
dictator
'castro' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'adroit moving across court' is the wordplay.
'moving' is an anagram indicator.
'across' is an insertion indicator.
'court' becomes 'ct' (abbreviation used in road names).
'adroit' anagrammed gives 'diator'.
'diator' placed around 'ct' is 'DICTATOR'.
'perhaps' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dictator that I've seen before include "Authoritarian, tyrant" , "Hitler was one, like Stalin and Franco" , "Extraordinary old magistrate" , "One who reads out for others to scribe" , "Absolute ruler (Great in Chaplin film)" .)
