Victory, having same recipe for sage (4,3)
I believe the answer is:
wise man
'sage' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'victory having same recipe' is the wordplay.
'victory' becomes 'win' (a win is a victory).
'having' indicates putting letters inside.
'recipe' indicates an anagram.
'same' anagrammed gives 'sema'.
'win' going around 'sema' is 'WISE MAN'.
'for' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for wise man that I've seen before include "Experienced veteran" , "Fellow with a gift" , "Sage" .)
