Conservative member to go to summit? (5)
I believe the answer is:
climb
'summit?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how they can define each other.
'conservative member to go to' is the wordplay.
'conservative' becomes 'C' (UK political abbreviation).
'member' becomes 'limb' (member can mean a limb).
'to go to' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'c'+'limb'='CLIMB'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for climb that I've seen before include "Go higher up" , "Rise, mount" , "improve one's social status" , "Use hands and feet to rise" , "Mount, ascend" .)
