Educationalist produced review consumed by parishioners (3)
I believe the answer is:
sir
'educationalist' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'review consumed by parishioners' is the wordplay.
'review' is a reversal indicator.
'consumed by' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (I've seen this in other clues).
'ris' is hidden within 'parishioners'.
'ris' in reverse letter order is 'SIR'.
'produced' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sir that I've seen before include "Title for knight or teacher" , "Male title of respect" , "Poet and novelist" , "Respectful address for a man" , "Polite term of address for a man" .)
