Players' line from the start of Ode to a Revolutionary? (4)
I believe the answer is:
oche
'players' line' is the definition.
(line which dart players stand on)
'start of ode to a revolutionary?' is the wordplay.
'start of' indicates taking the first letters.
'to a revolutionary?' becomes 'che' (Che Guevara the Marxist revolutionary).
The first letter of 'ode' is 'o'.
'o'+'che'='OCHE'
'from the' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for oche that I've seen before include "Missile launchers stand behind this" , "Line from which dart-player throws" , "Line at which darts player stands to throw" , "Line from which a dart player throws" , "Line behind which an 11 player throws" .)
