Communist is concealed? Must be unearthed again (12)
I believe the answer is:
rediscovered
'unearthed again' is the definition.
(discovered again)
'communist is concealed?' is the wordplay.
'communist' becomes 'red' (red can informally mean communist).
'concealed?' becomes 'covered' (covering is a kind of concealing).
'red'+'is'+'covered'='REDISCOVERED'
'must be' is the link.
(Another definition for rediscovered that I've seen is " Again found".)
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
