Award stripped for opposition to peace (3)
I believe the answer is:
war
'opposition to peace' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'award stripped' is the wordplay.
'stripped' says to take the centre (outside letters removed).
The central letters of 'award' are 'WAR'.
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for war that I've seen before include "Fight" , "Large-scale conflict" , "Combat" , "Strife" , "series of engagements" .)
