He stops disparate voices coming together (8)
I believe the answer is:
cohesive
'together' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'he stops disparate voices coming' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'he' could be 'ive' and 'ive' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cohesive that I've seen before include "United" , "Tending to stick together" , "Sticking together" , "All together, holding" .)
