Make division time stand up before court (7)
I believe the answer is:
trisect
'make division time stand up before court' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'time stand up before court' is the wordplay.
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'stand up' becomes 'rise' (synonyms).
'before' says to put letters next to each other.
'court' becomes 'ct'.
't'+'rise'+'ct'='TRISECT'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for trisect that I've seen before include "breakaway group after sound test" , "Cut into three pieces" , "cut into thirds" , "Cut into three parts" , "Divide into three equal parts" .)
