Indian beggar had us at sixes and sevens (5)
I believe the answer is:
sadhu
'indian beggar' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'had us at sixes and sevens' is the wordplay.
'at sixes and sevens' indicates anagramming the letters.
'had'+'us'='hadus'
'hadus' anagrammed gives 'SADHU'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sadhu that I've seen before include "Indian holy man or sage" , "one choosing austerity" , "Ascetic" , "Hindu wandering holy man" , "Indian wandering holy man" .)
