Control furore, cut short during a social event (10)
I believe the answer is:
ascendance
'control furore' is the definition.
'ascendance' can be an answer for 'control' (I've seen this before). I am unsure of the 'furore' bit.
'cut short during a social event' is the wordplay.
'cut short' becomes 'sce' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'during' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'a' becomes 'an'.
'social event' becomes 'dance' (a dance is a type of social event).
'sce' placed within 'an' is 'ascen'.
'ascen'+'dance'='ASCENDANCE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ascendance that I've seen before include "Upper hand" , "dominating power" , "superiority" , "Control" .)
