Intermediary in affair (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

liaison

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'intermediary' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'affair' is the second definition.
('liaison' can be a synonym of 'affair')

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for liaison that I've seen before include "Naughty affair?" , "Amour; communication" , "Communication between groups or units" , "Secret love affair" , "Co-operation; love affair" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
