Failure of power gives rise to censorship (8)
![Ross](/clue/static/ross-mug.min.png)
I believe the answer is:
blackout
This clue could be a double definition.
'failure of power gives rise' is the first definition.
'blackout' can be an answer for 'failure' (blackout is a kind of failure). I am not certain of the 'of power gives rise' bit.
'censorship' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for blackout that I've seen before include "Faint" , "Sudden lights-off" , "Compulsory darkness during wartime, or temporary loss of memory" , "Period of darkness" , "Momentary loss of consciousness" .)
