Inspiration to adopt Democrat's liberal attitude (7)
I believe the answer is:
breadth
'liberal attitude' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both human attributes as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'inspiration to adopt democrat's' is the wordplay.
'inspiration' becomes 'breath' (I've seen this in another clue).
'to adopt' is an insertion indicator (inserted letters are taken in or adopted).
'democrat' becomes 'd'.
'breath' enclosing 'd' is 'BREADTH'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for breadth that I've seen before include "Liberality" , "Wide measurement" , "generosity of mind" , "Measurement from side to side" , "Measure" .)
