Shouts about a politician’s frenzies (8)
I believe the answer is:
rampages
'shouts' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their -s form, I don't understand how one could define the other.
'about a politician's frenzies' is the wordplay.
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'politician' becomes 'MP' (Member of Parliament).
'frenzies' becomes 'rages' (I've seen this in another clue).
'a'+'mp'='amp'
'amp' inserted into 'rages' is 'RAMPAGES'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rampages that I've seen before include "Rushes around wildly" , "Moves through a place in a violent and uncontrollable way" , "Violent and destructive behaviours" , "Runs riot" , "Violent disorders" .)
