Defiant Radescu embodies commerce (5)
I believe the answer is:
trade
'commerce' is the definition.
(I know that trade is a type of interchange)
'defiant radescu embodies' is the wordplay.
'TRADE' is hidden within the letters.
However, I'm not sure how this is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for trade that I've seen before include "Deal commercially" , "Commercial dealings" , "Commercial exchange of goods and services" , "Buy and sell, barter" , "Buying/selling of goods" .)
