Fanatics who set Zola adrift? (7)
I believe the answer is:
zealots
'fanatics' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'set zola adrift?' is the wordplay.
'adrift?' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'adrift' mean this).
'set'+'zola'='setzola'
'setzola' anagrammed gives 'ZEALOTS'.
'who' is the link.
(Other definitions for zealots that I've seen before include "Fanatics" , "Extremists" , "Extreme enthusiasts" , "Partisans" , "Fervent or militant proponents" .)
