Illegal deal makes revolutionary type march (9)
I believe the answer is:
champerty
'illegal deal' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'revolutionary type march' is the wordplay.
'revolutionary' indicates an anagram.
'type'+'march'='typemarch'
'typemarch' with letters rearranged gives 'CHAMPERTY'.
'makes' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for champerty that I've seen is " outsider's contract".)
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
