Supporter of France to be shot (10)
I believe the answer is:
benefactor
'supporter' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'france to be shot' is the wordplay.
'shot' indicates an anagram.
'france'+'to'+'be'='francetobe'
'francetobe' with letters rearranged gives 'BENEFACTOR'.
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for benefactor that I've seen before include "One giving to worthy cause" , "Patron, sponsor" , "Person giving to a good cause" , "One financially supporting a worthy cause" , "charity supporter?" .)
