Wise holder of power – possibly a Frankfurter (7)
I believe the answer is:
sausage
'frankfurter' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'wise holder of power possibly a' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'wise' could be 'sage' ('sage' can be similar in meaning to 'wise') and 'sage' is present in the answer.
'a' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sausage that I've seen before include "Eg, salami or pepperoni" , "Assuage (anag.)" , "Seasoned minced meat stuffed in casing" , "E.g. salami, bratwurst" , "Chipolata, for example" .)
