Representative of Evita touring south pursuing wheel components? (12)
![Ross](/clue/static/ross-mug.min.png)
I believe the answer is:
spokesperson
'representative' is the definition.
(I know that spokesperson is a type of representative)
'evita touring south pursuing wheel components?' is the wordplay.
'evita' becomes 'Peron' (Eva Peron, wife of Argentine president Juan Peron).
'touring' means one lot of letters goes inside another (tour can mean to go around).
'south' becomes 's' (abbreviation).
'pursuing' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'wheel components?' becomes 'spokes' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'peron' enclosing 's' is 'person'.
'person' put after 'spokes' is 'SPOKESPERSON'.
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for spokesperson that I've seen before include "Man or woman representing" , "One speaking for others" , "Representative" .)
