Like a minority group’s undertaking blocking river (9)
I believe the answer is:
factional
'like a minority group's' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'undertaking blocking river' is the wordplay.
'undertaking' becomes 'action'.
'blocking' means one lot of letters goes inside another (block can mean to plug a gap in something).
'river' becomes 'fal' (Cornish river).
'action' inserted into 'fal' is 'FACTIONAL'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Times.
