Set straight communist about conflicts without borders (7)
I believe the answer is:
righted
'set' is the definition.
The answer and definition are different parts of speech. However, adjectives and past participle verbs occasionally mean the same thing.
'straight communist about conflicts without borders' is the wordplay.
'straight communist' becomes 'red' (red can informally mean communist. I am not sure about the 'straight' bit.).
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'conflicts' becomes 'fights' (fight is a kind of conflict).
'without borders' says to take the centre (the borders of the word are removed).
The centre of 'fights' is 'ight'.
'red' placed around 'ight' is 'RIGHTED'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for righted that I've seen is " Made reparation".)
