English woman starting to urge action not cognate with assessment (10)
I believe the answer is:
evaluation
'assessment' is the definition.
(I know that assessment can be written as evaluation)
'english woman starting to urge action not cognate' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'english' could be 'e' (abbreviation) and 'e' is found in the answer.
'woman' could be 'lu' and 'lu' is present in the answer.
'not' could be 'o' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'o' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'with' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for evaluation that I've seen is " Assessment".)
