Group of intelligence analysts discontented about being subordinate to soldiers (5)
I believe the answer is:
mensa
'group of intelligence' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer. I also know that 'intelligence' relates to this answer.
'analysts discontented about being subordinate to soldiers' is the wordplay.
'discontented' means to remove the middle letters (the word's contents are removed).
'about' is a reversal indicator.
'being subordinate to' means one lot of letters go next to another (in a down clue, some letters go beneath others).
'soldiers' becomes 'men' (men can mean a group of soldiers).
'analysts' with its middle removed is 'as'.
'as' backwards is 'sa'.
'sa' put after 'men' is 'MENSA'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for mensa that I've seen before include "High IQ_organisation" , "Organisation for people with high IQ" , "Organisation for those with high IQs" , "High IQ society" , "High-IQ organisation" .)
