What one kept expressing at first becoming aware of discrimination (4)
I believe the answer is:
woke
'what one kept expressing at first becoming aware of discrimination' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'what one kept expressing at first' is the wordplay.
'at first' says to take the initial letters.
The first letters of 'what one kept expressing' is 'WOKE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for woke that I've seen before include "Roused from sleep" , "Ceased to sleep" , "Came to" , "Stopped sleeping" .)
