Down clue given cryptic revelation (10)
I believe the answer is:
divulgence
'revelation' is the definition.
(divulgence is a kind of revelation)
'down clue given cryptic' is the wordplay.
'down' becomes 'd'.
'cryptic' indicates anagramming the letters.
'clue'+'given'='cluegiven'
'cluegiven' with letters rearranged gives 'ivulgence'.
'd'+'ivulgence'='DIVULGENCE'
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
