Like a rabble stirred or exploited? (6)
I believe the answer is:
roused
'like a rabble' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'stirred or exploited?' is the wordplay.
'stirred' indicates anagramming the letters.
'exploited?' becomes 'used' (synonyms).
'or' with letters rearranged gives 'ro'.
'ro'+'used'='ROUSED'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for roused that I've seen before include "Soured (anag.)" , "Woken up or angered" , "Stimulated" , "Made to waken or to become excited" , "Woken up or moved to action" .)
