Barefaced attorney finally upholding women’s contract (8)
I believe the answer is:
warranty
'contract' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'barefaced attorney finally upholding women's' is the wordplay.
'barefaced' becomes 'arrant' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'finally' suggests the final letters.
'upholding' means one lot of letters go next to another (holding on top - in a down clue).
'women' becomes 'w' (standard abbreviation).
The final letter of 'attorney' is 'y'.
'arrant'+'y'='arranty'
'arranty' put after 'w' is 'WARRANTY'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for warranty that I've seen before include "Quality guarantee" , "assurance" , "pledge" , "Guarantee given to a purchaser" , "Free repair document" .)
