Agreement sounds very full (4)
I believe the answer is:
pact
'agreement' is the definition.
(a pact is an agreement or deal)
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pact that I've seen before include "Treaty, formal agreement" , "Written agreement between two states" , "International treaty" , "Settlement" , "Formal agreement between parties or states" .)
