Crossword Genius

Commitment shown in battle (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

engagement

This clue is a double definition.

'commitment' is the first definition.
(engagement is a kind of commitment)

'battle' is the second definition.
('engagement' can be a synonym of 'battle')

'shown in' is the link.

(Other definitions for engagement that I've seen before include "Appointment - conflict" , "promise of union" , "publicized by a band" , "Sort of ring" , "Date, battle, or betrothal" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
