Is on Right in political party with no leader - its causes? Chaos! (8)
I believe the answer is:
disrupts
'causes? chaos' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with communicating as well as being verbs in their -s form.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'is on right in political party with no leader its' is the wordplay.
'on right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation. I am not sure about the 'on' bit.**).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'political party' becomes 'dup' (Democratic Unionist Party).
'with no leader' means to remove the first letter (I've seen 'with no leaders' mean this).
'is'+'r'='isr'
'isr' put into 'dup' is 'disrup'.
'its' with its initial letter removed is 'ts'.
'disrup'+'ts'='DISRUPTS'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for disrupts that I've seen before include "Sabotages, disturbs" , "Throws into disorder" , "Disturbs, unsettles" , "Disturbs the order or progress" .)
