I’m received by temporary ruler’s group of soldiers (8)
I believe the answer is:
regiment
'group of soldiers' is the definition.
'regiment' can be an answer for 'soldiers'. I am unsure of the 'group of' bit.
'i'm received by temporary ruler's' is the wordplay.
'received by' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'temporary ruler' becomes 'regent' (I've seen this in another clue).
'im' placed into 'regent' is 'REGIMENT'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for regiment that I've seen before include "Order" , "The Grenadier Guards, for example" , "Large army unit" , "Metering (anag) - army unit" , "Military group" .)
