Rebellious clip of Tibet leader of democracy is a concern of those keeping accounts (5)
I believe the answer is:
debit
'a concern of those keeping accounts' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'rebellious clip of tibet leader of democracy' is the wordplay.
'rebellious' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'clip of' means to remove the last letter (I've seen 'clipped' mean this).
'leader of' suggests taking the first letters.
The first letter of 'democracy' is 'd'.
'tibet' with its final letter removed is 'tibe'.
'tibe'+'d'='tibed'
'tibed' reversed gives 'DEBIT'.
'is' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for debit that I've seen before include "Accounting entry showing amount spent" , "Enter in accounts as sum owed" , "Sum removed from a bank account" , "Accounting entry recording sums that are 5" , "It's not to one's credit" .)
