Somebody distributed oranges following sport at school (9)
I believe the answer is:
personage
'somebody' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'distributed oranges following sport at school' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
an anagram of 'oranges' is 'ersonag' which is within the answer.
'sport' could be 'pe' (short for Physical Education) and 'pe' is present in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for personage that I've seen before include "big noise, it's said" , "VIP" , "(Important) individual" , "Luminary" , "Somebody" .)
