Soldier maybe in boxing arena delivering tirade (7)
I believe the answer is:
ranting
'tirade' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'soldier maybe in boxing arena' is the wordplay.
'soldier maybe' becomes 'ant' (soldier is a type of ant. I am not sure about the 'maybe' bit.).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'boxing arena' becomes 'ring' (boxing ring).
'ant' put within 'ring' is 'RANTING'.
'delivering' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ranting that I've seen before include "Making a loud and angry speech" , "Shouting wildly" , "Raving, haranguing" .)
