When wrath will overcome quiet hope (6)
I believe the answer is:
aspire
'hope' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'when wrath will overcome quiet' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'when' could be 'as' (eg 'when I walked' means 'as I walked') and 'as' is located in the answer.
'wrath' could be 'ire' (both can mean anger) and 'ire' is found in the answer.
'quiet' could be 'p' (music symbol for 'piano', ie soft or quiet) and 'p' is located in the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for aspire that I've seen before include "Hope, dream" , "Desire (to reach higher things)" , "Have ambition or desire for praise" , "Have ambitious plans for" , "Aim at high things" .)
