Just state what is a reasonable stipulation (4,9)
I believe the answer is:
fair condition
'a reasonable stipulation' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'just state' is the wordplay.
'just' becomes 'fair' (just can mean fair in the sense of showing justice).
'state' becomes 'condition' (condition is a kind of state).
'fair'+'condition'='FAIR CONDITION'
'what is' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
