Agree when in an ecstatic state? (6)
I believe the answer is:
assent
'agree' is the definition.
(assenting is a kind of agreeing)
'in an ecstatic state?' is the wordplay.
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'an' becomes 'a'.
'ecstatic' becomes 'sent' (I've seen this in other clues).
'state?' becomes 's' (this might be a standard abbreviation which I don't know about).
'a'+'sent'='asent'
'asent' enclosing 's' is 'ASSENT'.
'when' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for assent that I've seen before include "Expression of agreement" , "Express approval or agreement" , "Acquiescence" , "Give the thumbs-up" , "Agreement or concurrence" .)
