Many cheer the reformation of Satan (4-5)
I believe the answer is:
arch-enemy
'satan' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'many cheer the reformation' is the wordplay.
'the reformation' indicates anagramming the letters.
'many'+'cheer'='manycheer'
'manycheer' with letters rearranged gives 'ARCH-ENEMY'.
'of' acts as a link.
(Another definition for arch-enemy that I've seen is " Principal antagonist".)
I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
