Shout about Republican punch-up (5)
I believe the answer is:
brawl
This clue might be a double definition.
'shout about republican' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how they can define each other.
'punch-up' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for brawl that I've seen before include "Ruckus" , "Riotous fight" , "Scuffle, unseemly fight" , "Abounding" , "Unruly fight" .)
