Approach step that's pronounced (5)
I believe the answer is:
style
'approach' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'step that's pronounced' is the wordplay.
'step' becomes 'stile'.
'that's pronounced' shows a homophone (sound like).
'stile' is a homophone of 'STYLE'.
(Other definitions for style that I've seen before include "Distinctive arrangement, elegance" , "Vogue or grace" , "Method; elegance" , "Manner; elegance" , "Former writer" .)
