Rabbi led reformation although he never prepared a speech (2-6)
I believe the answer is:
ad-libber
'he never prepared a speech' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun but the answer is not.
'rabbi led reformation' is the wordplay.
'reformation' is an anagram indicator.
'rabbi'+'led'='rabbiled'
'rabbiled' anagrammed gives 'AD-LIBBER'.
'although' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
