Copy insubordination - ignoring leader (7)
I believe the answer is:
edition
'copy' is the definition.
(I have seen 'copy of work' mean 'edition' so perhaps 'copy' could also mean 'edition')
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for edition that I've seen before include "Volume" , "Something impressed" , "single programme" , "Total number of copies issued (of book)" , "Particular version of a published text" .)
