Flatter cut or interleaved (5)
I believe the answer is:
court
'flatter' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'cut or interleaved' is the wordplay.
'cut or' can be anagrammed to 'COURT'.
However, I am unsure how the anagram is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for court that I've seen before include "See 18" , "SECOND PART OF 2" , "Work as solicitor" , "SECOND PART OF 5" , "Judicial body" .)
