Agree about journalist being taken in by star (6)
I believe the answer is:
accede
'agree' is the definition.
(acceding is a kind of agreeing)
'about journalist being taken in by star' is the wordplay.
'about' becomes 'c' (abbreviation for 'circa').
'journalist' becomes 'ed' (short for editor).
'being taken in' is an insertion indicator.
'by star' becomes 'ace' ('ace' can be a synonym of 'star'. I am not sure about the 'by' bit.**).
'c'+'ed'='ced'
'ced' placed inside 'ace' is 'ACCEDE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for accede that I've seen before include "Comply" , "Grant or consent" , "Agree to what is proposed" , "Assume" , "Allow, give consent" .)
