Historic recipient of cavalier treatment (9)
I believe the answer is:
roundhead
This might be a double definition.
'historic recipient' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'cavalier treatment' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how they can define each other.
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for roundhead that I've seen before include "Supporter of Parliament during the English Civil Wars" , "Parliamentarian (hist.)" , "Cavalier's foe" , "antimonarchist" , "An enemy of Charles" .)
