Having organised raid, cops scattered (8)
I believe the answer is:
sporadic
'having organised' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'raid cops scattered' is the wordplay.
'scattered' is an anagram indicator.
'raid'+'cops'='raidcops'
'raidcops' with letters rearranged gives 'SPORADIC'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sporadic that I've seen before include "Fitful, intermittent" , "Occurring here and there, scattered" , "Isolated; intermittent" , "Occurring now and then - cop raids (anag)" , "Occurring here and there, like picadors" .)
