Making Conservative relax, female one about truce (9)
I believe the answer is:
ceasefire
'truce' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'making conservative relax female one about' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'conservative' could be 'c' (UK political abbreviation) and 'c' is found within the answer.
'relax' could be 'ease' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'ease' is found in the answer.
'female' could be 'f' (abbreviation) and 'f' is found within the answer.
'one' could be 'i' (Roman numeral) and 'i' is found in the answer.
'about' could be 're' ('re' means regarding or about) and 're' is found in the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ceasefire that I've seen before include "Truce" , "Break in fighting" .)
