Conciliator one might hear in a city in Italy? (8)
I believe the answer is:
appeaser
'conciliator' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'one might hear in a city in italy?' is the wordplay.
'one might' becomes 'a' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'hear in' shows a homophone (sound like) (I've seen 'heard of in' mean this).
'a city in italy?' becomes 'Pisa' (Italian city).
'pisa' sounds like 'ppeaser'.
'a'+'ppeaser'='APPEASER'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for appeaser that I've seen before include "One who propitiates by concessions" , "One who gives in to demands for a quiet life" , "one seeking peace and quiet" .)
