Keeper of haunt for belligerents? (6)
I believe the answer is:
warden
'keeper' is the definition.
(I know that warden is a type of prison officer)
'haunt for belligerents?' is the wordplay.
'haunt' becomes 'den' (I've seen this in other clues).
'for' says to put letters next to each other (I've seen this in other clues).
'belligerents?' becomes 'war' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'den' after 'war' is 'WARDEN'.
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for warden that I've seen before include "Chief official in charge of a prison" , "Person in charge (of traffic etc)" , "Andrew, strangely, is in prison" , "Caretaker" , "Official with supervisory duties, as in relation to a church" .)
