A drugs officer avoiding conflict wary about heroin leading to disorder (7)
I believe the answer is:
anarchy
'disorder' is the definition.
(I know that anarchy is a type of disorder)
'a drugs officer avoiding conflict wary about heroin leading to' is the wordplay.
'drugs officer' becomes 'narc' (I've seen this before).
'avoiding' suggests deleting specific letters.
'conflict' becomes 'war' (war is a kind of conflict).
'about heroin' becomes 'h' (H is a slang term for heroin. I am not sure about the 'about' bit.).
'leading to' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'wary' with 'war' taken out is 'y'.
'y' put after 'h' is 'hy'.
'a'+'narc'+'hy'='ANARCHY'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for anarchy that I've seen before include "State of civil disorder" , "Unrule" , "Uncontrolled disorder" , "Chaotic state" , "General disorder" .)
