Iconic oriental setting for the resumption of good relations (14)
I believe the answer is:
reconciliation
'resumption of good relations' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'iconic oriental setting' is the wordplay.
'setting' is an anagram indicator.
'iconic'+'oriental'='iconicoriental'
'iconicoriental' is an anagram of 'RECONCILIATION'.
'for the' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for reconciliation that I've seen before include "state Montagues and Capulets ended in" , "Restoration of friendly relations" .)
