Men bash titles for representing upper echelon (13)
I believe the answer is:
establishment
'upper echelon' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'men bash titles for representing' is the wordplay.
'men bash titles' can be anagrammed to 'ESTABLISHMENT'.
However, I am not clear how the anagram is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for establishment that I've seen before include "Action of setting up on a permanent basis" , "Formation" , "Permanent staff - powerful class" , "Institution; (the) ruling classes" , "concern" .)
