A personal matter under discussion (2,5)
I believe the answer is:
at issue
'under discussion' is the definition.
(at issue means currently being discussed)
'a personal matter' is the wordplay.
'personal matter' becomes 'tissue' (tissue is a kind of matter. I am not sure about the 'personal' bit.).
'a'+'tissue'='AT ISSUE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for at issue that I've seen before include "under debate" , "In question, under discussion" , "Questionable" , "Being discussed or disputed" , "in dispute" .)
