Fighting men almost come together (4)
I believe the answer is:
unit
'fighting men' is the definition.
'unit' can be an answer for 'men' (thesaurus). I'm not sure about the 'fighting' bit.
'almost come together' is the wordplay.
'almost' means to remove the last letter (most of the word but not all of it).
'come together' becomes 'unite' (to unite is to come or join together).
'unite' with its final letter taken away is 'UNIT'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for unit that I've seen before include "Kitchen element?" , "Single item; one" , "Subdivision of a whole" , "Self-contained part" , "A single, complete item" .)
