Abraham Lincoln, initial victim of fratricide (4)
I believe the answer is:
abel
'victim of fratricide' is the definition.
'abel' can be an answer for 'victim' (murder victim in the Bible). I am not certain of the 'of fratricide' bit.
'abraham lincoln initial' is the wordplay.
'abraham' becomes 'abe'.
'initial' says to take the initial letters.
The initial letter of 'lincoln' is 'l'.
'abe'+'l'='ABEL'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for abel that I've seen before include "One of the first children" , "Son of Adam and Eve" , "done in before anyone else" , "fellow killed by brother" , "Adam's boy" .)
