Consider leaving time to go between parties? (7)
I believe the answer is:
mediate
'go between parties?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'consider leaving time' is the wordplay.
'consider' becomes 'meditate' (I've seen this before).
'leaving' is a deletion indicator.
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'meditate' with 't' removed is 'MEDIATE'.
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for mediate that I've seen before include "Act as intermediary" , "Act as middle man" , "Act as conciliator" , "Act between parties to reconcile differences" , "Arbitrate between parties in dispute" .)
