Area of potential conflict sees sexy garments making a comeback (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hotspot

'area of potential conflict' is the definition.
(hotspot can mean an area of danger or conflict)

'sexy garments making a comeback' is the wordplay.
'sexy' becomes 'hot' (similar in meaning).
'garments' becomes 'tops' (top is a kind of garment).
'making a comeback' says the letters should be written backwards.
'tops' in reverse letter order is 'spot'.
'hot'+'spot'='HOTSPOT'

'sees' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for hotspot that I've seen before include "Nightclub" , "busy area" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
