Scatters disciples, confused without one in command (7)
I believe the answer is:
dispels
'scatters' is the definition.
('dispel' can be a synonym of 'scatter')
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dispels that I've seen before include "'Makes disappear, a doubt say (7)'" , "Scatters, drives away" .)
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
