Military group ready to intervene in turn for writing on the wall? (8)
I believe the answer is:
graffito
'the wall?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'military group ready to intervene in turn for writing' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'ready' could be 'fit' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'fit' is located in the answer.
'writing' could be 'r' (one of the traditional three R's of education) and 'r' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'on' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for graffito that I've seen before include "A mural scribbling" , "Illicit drawing on a public building" , "Rude decoration inscribed on rocks or walls" , "One drawing" , "Banksy work?" .)
