Storm about like a politician in a hurry (7)
I believe the answer is:
rampage
'politician in a hurry' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'storm about like a' is the wordplay.
'storm' becomes 'ramp' (synonyms).
'about' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'like' becomes 'eg' (I've seen this in other clues).
'eg'+'a'='ega'
'ega' back-to-front is 'age'.
'ramp'+'age'='RAMPAGE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rampage that I've seen before include "Run amok" , "A mad rush" , "Frenzy" , "Violent disorder" , "destructive behaviour" .)
