Former dictator starts to encourage each one facing a test (8)
I believe the answer is:
examinee
'one facing a test' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'former dictator starts to encourage each' is the wordplay.
'former' becomes 'ex' (prefix meaning former or onetime).
'dictator' becomes 'amin' (Idi Amin, Ugandan dictator).
'starts to' says to take the initial letters.
The initial letters of 'encourage each' is 'ee'.
'ex'+'amin'+'ee'='EXAMINEE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for examinee that I've seen before include "GCSE entrant" , "One sitting a test" , "one facing Test" , "One in finals" , "Whipped dessert" .)
