Term of address for misguided brutes? (6)
I believe the answer is:
buster
'term of address' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how one could define the other.
'misguided brutes?' is the wordplay.
'misguided' is an anagram indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'brutes' anagrammed gives 'BUSTER'.
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for buster that I've seen before include "Form of address to man" , "-- Keaton, US silent film actor" , "-- Keaton, comic actor" , "Keaton or Crabbe" , "- - Keaton, silent star" .)
