For the moment I am facing my opposite (8)
I believe the answer is:
meantime
'for the moment' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'i am facing my opposite' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'i' could be 'me' and 'me' is found within the answer.
'opposite' could be 'anti' and 'anti' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'me' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for meantime that I've seen before include "For the moment" , "Intervening period" , "interval" , "interim?" .)
