Word of catastrophe agitatedly cabled East (7)
I believe the answer is:
debacle
'word of catastrophe' is the definition.
'debacle' can be an answer for 'catastrophe' (a debacle is a catastrophe or disaster). I'm not certain of the 'word of' bit.
'agitatedly cabled east' is the wordplay.
'agitatedly' is an anagram indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'east' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'cabled' with letters rearranged gives 'debacl'.
'debacl'+'e'='DEBACLE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for debacle that I've seen before include "Sudden disastrous collapse or defeat" , "Humiliating failure" , "Total collapse or defeat" , "Lace bed (anag)" , "Great disaster" .)
