Rhetoric men associated with one like Disraeli (7)
I believe the answer is:
oratory
'rhetoric' is the definition.
(both can mean formal speech)
'men associated with one like disraeli' is the wordplay.
'men' becomes 'OR' (military abbreviation for Other Ranks).
'associated' becomes 'a' (this could be a standard abbreviation which I don't know about).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'one like disraeli' becomes 'Tory' (Benjamin Disraeli was a Tory politician).
'or'+'a'+'tory'='ORATORY'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for oratory that I've seen before include "Cicero's art" , "devotional space" , "Small chapel for private worship" , "speech day's main feature?" , "Gift of the gab" .)
