Female group opposing — no good making agreement (11)
I believe the answer is:
covenanting
'agreement' is the definition.
The definition and answer are not the same part of speech.
'female group opposing no good' is the wordplay.
'female group' becomes 'coven' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'opposing' becomes 'anti' (prefix meaning 'opposing').
'no good' becomes 'ng' (abbreviation).
'coven'+'anti'+'ng'='COVENANTING'
'making' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Times.
