Loyalty, for example, in coalition (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

allegiance

'loyalty' is the definition.
(allegiance is a kind of loyalty)

'example in coalition' is the wordplay.
'example' becomes 'eg'.
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'coalition' becomes 'alliance' (alliance is a kind of coalition).
'eg' put into 'alliance' is 'ALLEGIANCE'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for allegiance that I've seen before include "Loyalty (to a superior)" , "Loyalty to a group or cause" , "commitment to a cause" , "Fidelity" , "duty" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
