Timetable for revolutionary head of department at university in south-east (8)
I believe the answer is:
schedule
'timetable' is the definition.
(I know that timetable can be written as schedule)
'revolutionary head of department at university in south-east' is the wordplay.
'revolutionary' becomes 'che' (Che Guevara the Marxist revolutionary).
'head of' indicates taking the first letters.
'at university' becomes 'ul' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'south east' becomes 'SE' (abbreviation).
The first letter of 'department' is 'd'.
'che'+'d'+'ul'='chedul'
'chedul' placed inside 'se' is 'SCHEDULE'.
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for schedule that I've seen before include "Rota" , "Timetable for activities" , "You don't see loafers on this" , "List of intended events and times" , "Inventory - programme" .)
