Saint was cannibal? Time for disclosure! (9)
I believe the answer is:
statement
'disclosure' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'saint was cannibal? time' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'saint' could be 'st' (abbreviation) and 'st' is present in the answer.
'time' could be 't' (abbreviation) and 't' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for statement that I've seen before include "Formal account of events" , "Formal account, deposition" , "presentation" , "Spoken or written declaration" , "It's made, about account say" .)
