'intelligible character' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both human attributes as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?

'revised trail in cyprus' is the wordplay.
'revised' indicates anagramming the letters.
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'cyprus' becomes 'cy' (abbreviation).
'trail' with letters rearranged gives 'larit'.
'larit' put within 'cy' is 'CLARITY'.

'showing' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
