King won over Liberals from the start on The Border with understanding (9)
I believe the answer is:
knowledge
'understanding' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'king won over liberals from the start on the border' is the wordplay.
'king' becomes 'k'.
'over' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'liberals' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'liberal' mean this).
'from' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'the start on the border' becomes 'ledge' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'k' after 'won' is 'wonk'.
'wonk' is an anagram of 'know'.
'know'+'ledge'='KNOWLEDGE'
'with' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for knowledge that I've seen before include "practical skill" , "Erudition - ability" , "Understanding" , "Information gained through experience" , "Cognition, wisdom" .)
