Livingstone, say, converted any man or woman from Africa (6)
I believe the answer is:
person
'livingstone say' is the definition.
(I know that David Livingstone is a person)
'converted any man or woman from africa' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'man' could be 'son' and 'son' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'per' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for person that I've seen before include "Individual human being" , "Bod" , "character" , "A man or woman" , "present appearing in this" .)
