Foxtrot certainly enthrals contrary preacher (6)
I believe the answer is:
rector
'preacher' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'foxtrot certainly enthrals contrary' is the wordplay.
'enthrals' says the answer is hidden in the clue (hidden letters are captured or enthralled).
'contrary' is a reversal indicator.
'rotcer' is hidden in the letters of 'foxtrot certainly'.
'rotcer' written backwards gives 'RECTOR'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rector that I've seen before include "Cleric" , "Type of clergyman" , "Vicar" , "Minister of religion" , "Preacher Man" .)
