Might Paul have got involved in overthrowing the regime? (8)
I believe the answer is:
upheaval
'overthrowing the regime?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'might paul have got involved in' is the wordplay.
'might' is an anagram indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'got involved' is an anagram indicator.
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'have' is an anagram of 'heav'.
'paul' is an anagram of 'upal'.
'upal' placed around 'heav' is 'UPHEAVAL'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for upheaval that I've seen before include "At university, books are taken in to cure" , "Violent or sudden disturbance" , "State of violent disturbance and disorder" , "Turbulence" , "Violent or sudden change or disruption" .)
