Surprising solicitation for one promoting alliances (12)
I believe the answer is:
coalitionist
'one promoting alliances' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'surprising solicitation' is the wordplay.
'surprising' indicates an anagram.
'solicitation' anagrammed gives 'COALITIONIST'.
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for coalitionist that I've seen is " one seeking alliance".)
