scenic

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'having a great view' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'public spat that's not finished leading to intrigue that's constant' is the wordplay.
'public spat' becomes 'scene' (I've seen this in another clue).
'that's not finished' means to remove the last letter.
'leading to' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (some letters go before or lead others).
'intrigue' becomes 'i' (this could be a standard abbreviation of which I'm unaware).
'that's constant' becomes 'c' (mathematical abbreviation).
'scene' with its final letter removed is 'scen'.
'scen'+'i'+'c'='SCENIC'

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
