General's son the one she loves? (7)
I believe the answer is:
sherman
'general's' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'son the one she loves?' is the wordplay.
'son' becomes 's'.
'the one she' becomes 'her' (I've seen this in other clues).
'loves?' becomes 'man' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
's'+'her'+'man'='SHERMAN'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sherman that I've seen before include "William -, US Civil War general (Atlanta)" , "US general, marched through Georgia" .)
