Possibly resisted one who arranges publication (8)
I believe the answer is:
editress
'one who arranges publication' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'possibly resisted' is the wordplay.
'possibly' indicates an anagram.
'resisted' with letters rearranged gives 'EDITRESS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for editress that I've seen before include "Female journalist" , "Leading journalist" , "Newspaper boss" , "Rosie Boycott once" , "Woman in office" .)
