Battle about playing, caught in move (8)
I believe the answer is:
conflict
'battle' is the definition.
(I know that battle can be written as conflict)
'playing caught in move' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'playing' could be 'on' (on can mean playing or performing) and 'on' is located in the answer.
'caught' could be 'ct' and 'ct' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'about' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for conflict that I've seen before include "Fighting" , "Clash between two opposing groups" , "Discord, contention" , "Fracas" , "Difference of opinion, dispute" .)
