The sequence of events in the wake of (5)
I believe the answer is:
train
'the sequence' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'events in the wake of' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'in' is within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for train that I've seen before include "School, educate" , "School - transport" , "Prepare oneself by exercising" , "Railway service" , "Teach (person) a skill" .)
