Sense of grievance private soldier voiced (7)
I believe the answer is:
rancour
'sense of grievance' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both feelings as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'private soldier voiced' is the wordplay.
'private soldier' becomes 'ranker' (I've seen this before).
'voiced' shows a homophone (sound like).
'ranker' sounds like 'RANCOUR'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rancour that I've seen before include "Malicious hostility" , "Feeling of bitterness or dislike" , "Malice" , "Spiteful ill-feeling" , "Acrimony" .)
