Right exalted originally by right-wing theatre (9)
I believe the answer is:
repertory
'theatre' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'right exalted originally by right-wing' is the wordplay.
'originally' says to take the initial letters.
'by' becomes 'per' (I've seen this in another clue).
'right-wing' becomes 'Tory'.
The initial letters of 'right exalted' is 're'.
're'+'per'+'tory'='REPERTORY'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for repertory that I've seen before include "performance" , "Collection" , "Type of theatre" , "Playhouse performing a regular stock of works" .)
