Affectionate morning with a politician (7)
I believe the answer is:
amatory
'affectionate' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'morning with a politician' is the wordplay.
'morning' becomes 'am' (as in 12:00 AM).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'politician' becomes 'tory' (term for a Conservative Party politician).
'am'+'a'+'tory'='AMATORY'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for amatory that I've seen before include "declaration of love" , "relating to sexual desire?" , "Loving" , "Passionate" .)
