Diplomacy means freedom (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

discretion

This clue is a double definition.

'diplomacy' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'freedom' is the second definition.
(discretion is a kind of freedom)

'means' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for discretion that I've seen before include "Diplomacy" , "Tact - prudence" , "Tactful quality" , "Liberty to act at pleasure; prudence" , "The better part of valour" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
