Some really do by nature become uplifted by Everyman (7)
I believe the answer is:
anybody
'everyman' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'some really do by nature become uplifted' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates a hidden word (some of the parts of the word are used).
'uplifted' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'ydobyna' can be found hidden inside 'really do by nature become'.
'ydobyna' reversed gives 'ANYBODY'.
'by' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for anybody that I've seen before include "no-one in particular" , "Whichever person" , "An unspecified person" , "Each of us" .)
