Revolutionary claims about compounds (9)
I believe the answer is:
chemicals
'compounds' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both substances as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'revolutionary claims about' is the wordplay.
'revolutionary' becomes 'Che' (Che Guevara).
'about' indicates anagramming the letters.
'claims' anagrammed gives 'micals'.
'che'+'micals'='CHEMICALS'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for chemicals that I've seen before include "compounds?" , "Fertilizers and weed killer, say" .)
