Brawling woman to call Turkish leader, not without guts (9)
I believe the answer is:
termagant
'brawling woman' is the definition.
'termagant' can be an answer for 'brawling' (I've seen this before). I'm not sure about the 'woman' bit.
'call turkish leader not without guts' is the wordplay.
'call' becomes 'term' (term can mean to call something by a name).
'turkish leader' becomes 'aga' (I've seen this before).
'without guts' suggests removing the centre (the guts of the word are removed).
'not' with its centre removed is 'nt'.
'term'+'aga'+'nt'='TERMAGANT'
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for termagant that I've seen before include "TT manager is an overbearing woman" , "Aggressive, overbearing woman" , "She might do it" , "Garment at odds with shrewish woman" , "Witch" .)
