Unrest having been ill or indisposed (9)
I believe the answer is:
rebellion
'unrest' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.
'been ill or indisposed' is the wordplay.
'indisposed' indicates anagramming the letters.
'been'+'ill'+'or'='beenillor'
'beenillor' with letters rearranged gives 'REBELLION'.
'having' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rebellion that I've seen before include "Rising" , "Defiance" , "Revolting" , "Insurrection, revolt" , "insurgence" .)
