Enlightened one in Asian religion (6)
I believe the answer is:
buddha
This could be a double definition.
'enlightened one in asian' is the first 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?
'religion' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for buddha that I've seen before include "Founder of a world religion" , "Title of Gautama, Indian philosopher of 5th century BC" , "Founder of Asian religion 5th century BC" , "Holy man of Indian religion" , "religious effigy" .)
