US landowner managed revolutionary rabble to begin with (7)
I believe the answer is:
rancher
'us landowner' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'managed revolutionary rabble to begin with' is the wordplay.
'managed' becomes 'ran' (both can mean organised or was in charge of).
'revolutionary' becomes 'Che' (Che Guevara the Marxist revolutionary).
'to begin with' suggests taking the first letters.
The initial letter of 'rabble' is 'r'.
'ran'+'che'+'r'='RANCHER'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rancher that I've seen before include "US cattle farmer" , "North American cattle farmer" , "US cattle breeder" , "A cowboy" , "Owner of a large farm" .)
