Consider it as tact, maybe (10)
I believe the answer is:
discretion
'tact maybe' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'consider it' is the wordplay.
'consider it' anagrams to 'DISCRETION'.
But, I am not sure how the anagram is indicated.
'as' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for discretion that I've seen before include "Liberty to act at pleasure; prudence" , "The better part of valour" , "Tact - prudence" , "Diplomacy" , "Tactful quality" .)
