Extremely windy types of Oriental foreign politicians consumed by trials (8)
I believe the answer is:
tempests
'extremely windy types' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are plural nouns, I don't understand how they can define each other.
'oriental foreign politicians consumed by trials' is the wordplay.
'oriental' becomes 'e'.
'foreign politicians' becomes 'mp' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'consumed by' indicates putting letters inside.
'trials' becomes 'tests' ('test' can be a synonym of 'trial').
'e'+'mp'='emp'
'emp' going into 'tests' is 'TEMPESTS'.
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for tempests that I've seen is " Great storms".)
