Conservative attitude to latitude at the poles (5,5)
I believe the answer is:
right angle
'latitude at the poles' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'conservative attitude' is the wordplay.
'conservative' becomes 'right' (similar in meaning).
'attitude' becomes 'angle' (angle is a kind of attitude).
'right'+'angle'='RIGHT-ANGLE'
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for right angle that I've seen before include "Part of a square" , "Ninety degrees" , "that's formed by 1 Across and Down" , "Ninety degree corner" , "That between perpendicular and base" .)
