University cross opposition leader with Middle Eastern money of a wife (7)
I believe the answer is:
uxorial
'of a wife' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'university cross opposition leader with middle eastern money' is the wordplay.
'university' becomes 'U' (abbreviation as in UMass).
'cross opposition leader' becomes 'xo' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'middle eastern money' becomes 'rial' (I've seen this before).
'u'+'xo'+'rial'='UXORIAL'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for uxorial that I've seen before include "Wifelike" , "of the Dutch" , "Of a wife" , "Wife's" , "Wifey" .)
