Could this pacifist be embroiled in rioting and hijacking? (6)
I believe the answer is:
gandhi
'could this pacifist be embroiled' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'in rioting and hijacking?' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'GANDHI' is hidden within 'rioting and hijacking'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for gandhi that I've seen before include "Indian nationalist and spiritual leader" , "Peaceful protester" , "Old Indian leader" , "who played leading role in getting England out" , "Family name of Indian leaders" .)
