Enthusiastic student’s cry that travels widely? (4)
I believe the answer is:
meme
'cry that travels widely?' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for meme that I've seen before include "online phenomenon" , "Often trite image" , "Transmitted cultural idea" , "Image etc. that spreads rapidly on the Internet" , "Behavioural trait" .)
