Deserts from armed conflict inspired by Trotskyite? (6)
I believe the answer is:
reward
'deserts' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'from armed conflict inspired by trotskyite?' is the wordplay.
'from' becomes 'e' (I've seen this in other clues).
'armed conflict' becomes 'war' (I've seen this in another clue).
'inspired by' is an insertion indicator (some letters breathed in or 'inspired' by others).
'trotskyite?' becomes 'rd' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'e'+'war'='ewar'
'ewar' inserted inside 'rd' is 'REWARD'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for reward that I've seen before include "Prize payment" , "payment that's merited" , "Appreciative gift offered for drawer" , "Payment for services rendered" , "Prize; pay-off" .)
