Recalled Bill's privileged start in life? (4)
I believe the answer is:
eton
'recalled bill's privileged start in life?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'recalled bill's' is the wordplay.
'recalled' says the letters should be written backwards.
'bill' becomes 'note' (synonyms).
'note' reversed gives 'ETON'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for eton that I've seen before include "Collar - crop - jacket - school" , "Berkshire town" , "British public school of note" , "College in Berkshire" , "Public school founded in 1440" .)
