Leader having been deposed, insurrectionist changing (12)
I believe the answer is:
evolutionary
'changing' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are adjectives, I don't see how one could define the other.
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for evolutionary that I've seen is " Gradually developing".)
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
