Men in charge laugh about the prophet (5)
I believe the answer is:
micah
'prophet' is the definition.
(I know that Micah is a prophet)
'men in charge laugh about' is the wordplay.
'men in charge' becomes 'mic' (this might be a standard abbreviation I've not previously seen).
'laugh' becomes 'ha'.
'about' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'ha' backwards is 'ah'.
'mic'+'ah'='MICAH'
'the' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for micah that I've seen before include "Hebrew prophet; OT book" , "Old Testament prophet" , "set of books" , "Bookmaker" , "Old Testament book" .)
