Name of inventor noised abroad (6)
I believe the answer is:
edison
'name of inventor' is the definition.
'Edison' can be an answer for 'inventor' (Edison is an example). I am not certain of the 'name of' bit.
'noised abroad' is the wordplay.
'abroad' indicates an anagram (letters move around or go abroad).
'noised' with letters rearranged gives 'EDISON'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for edison that I've seen before include "Onside with great American inventor" , "Prolific inventor" , "Inventor with over 1,000 US patents to his name, d. 1931" , "US scientist/inventor" , "The inventor is strangely onside" .)
