I see leader of maquis in charge of resistance units (5)
I believe the answer is:
ohmic
'i see leader of maquis in charge of resistance units' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'i see leader of maquis in charge of' is the wordplay.
'i see' becomes 'oh' (both can mean 'I understand').
'leader of' says to take the initial letters.
'in charge of' becomes 'ic'.
The initial letter of 'maquis' is 'm'.
'oh'+'m'+'ic'='OHMIC'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ohmic that I've seen before include "concerned with resistance" , "Relating to electrical resistance" , "concerning resistance unit" .)
