Rising hero seen with bishop in lively dance (9)
I believe the answer is:
rebellion
'rising' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'hero seen with bishop in lively dance' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'hero' could be 'lion' (lion can mean a brave person) and 'lion' is located in the answer.
'bishop' could be 'b' (chess abbreviation) and 'b' is located in the answer.
'dance' could be 'reel' (reel is a kind of dance) and 'reel' is present in the leftover letters.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rebellion that I've seen before include "Defiance" , "Insurgency" , "Revolting" , "insurgence" , "Boxers' movement" .)
