One in strange state after war? (7)
I believe the answer is:
refugee
'one in strange state after war?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how they can define each other.
This is the entire clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for refugee that I've seen before include "One fleeing from persecution" , "One forced to flee" , "One seeks shelter" , "One fleeing troubles" , "War-forced migrant" .)
