Another offer from tipsy soprano couple disheartened tenor (15)

I believe the answer is:

counterproposal

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'another offer' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'tipsy soprano couple disheartened tenor' is the wordplay.
'tipsy' is an anagram indicator.
'disheartened' suggests removing the centre (the middle or heart is removed).
'tenor' with its centre taken out is 'tr'.
'soprano'+'couple'+'tr'='sopranocoupletr'
'sopranocoupletr' with letters rearranged gives 'COUNTERPROPOSAL'.

'from' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for counterproposal that I've seen is " Alternative".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
