Inventor some hit, and so disturbed (6,6)
I believe the answer is:
thomas edison
'inventor' is the definition.
(Thomas Edison is an example)
'some hit and so disturbed' is the wordplay.
'disturbed' indicates anagramming the letters.
'some'+'hit'+'and'+'so'='somehitandso'
'somehitandso' is an anagram of 'THOMAS EDISON'.
(Another definition for thomas edison that I've seen is " Phonograph inventor".)
I've seen this clue in The Times.
