Public outcry about booze you will consume? (4)
I believe the answer is:
oyez
'public outcry' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'about booze you will consume?' is the wordplay.
'about' says the letters should be written backwards.
'consume?' indicates a hidden word (I've seen 'consumes' mean this (the answer has been consumed by the clue)).
'zeyo' can be found hidden inside 'booze you will'.
'zeyo' backwards is 'OYEZ'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for oyez that I've seen before include "Town crier's cry" , "Call of public crier" , "Hear this" , "Town crier's call (Z, not S)" , "Town crier's utterance" .)
