Interpret the meaning of when Conservative society’s abandoned right (4)
I believe the answer is:
true
'right' is the definition.
(associated in meaning)
'interpret the meaning of when conservative society's abandoned' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'rue' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for true that I've seen before include "Honest - expression of agreement" , "Exact, factual" , "Factually correct" , "Straight or correct" , "Dependable -- loyal" .)
