Court detains pain showing street cred, perhaps (6)
I believe the answer is:
cachet
'street cred perhaps' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'court detains pain' is the wordplay.
'court' becomes 'ct' (abbreviation used in road names).
'detains' is an insertion indicator.
'pain' becomes 'ache' (ache is a kind of pain).
'ct' going around 'ache' is 'CACHET'.
'showing' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cachet that I've seen before include "Official seal on document" , "Prestige; a stamp" , "Kudos" , "French prestige or distinguishing mark" , "Mark of approval" .)
