Trained choir with acolytes? (6,7)
I believe the answer is:
choral society
'trained choir with acolytes?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.
'trained choir with acolytes?' is the wordplay.
'trained' indicates anagramming the letters (to train can mean to grow something into a shape).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'choir' after 'acolytes' is 'acolyteschoir'.
'acolyteschoir' is an anagram of 'CHORAL SOCIETY'.
Can you help me to learn more?
