Lawyer hiding stuff in tense situation (5)
I believe the answer is:
drama
'tense situation' is the definition.
'drama' can be an answer for 'situation' (I have seen 'Emotional situation' mean 'drama' so perhaps 'situation' could also mean 'drama'). I'm not certain of the 'tense' bit.
'lawyer hiding stuff' is the wordplay.
'lawyer' becomes 'da' (abbreviation for District Attorney).
'hiding' is an insertion indicator.
'stuff' becomes 'ram' (ram can mean to stuff or push).
'da' enclosing 'ram' is 'DRAMA'.
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for drama that I've seen before include "Acting" , "High emotion" , "Theatrical piece" , "Tragic situation" , "Highly emotional episode" .)
