Crossword Genius

Counter talk (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

converse

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'counter' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'talk' is the second definition.
(conversing is a kind of talking)

(Other definitions for converse that I've seen before include "Have a chat, being contrary" , "Talk together" , "Communicate with" , "Opposing" , "take part in discussion" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
