Masquerade about extremists in sections inside a NI party (5,2)
I believe the answer is:
dress up
'masquerade' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'about extremists in sections inside a ni party' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'about' could be 're' (common abbreviation for 'with reference to') and 're' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dress up that I've seen before include "What spin doctors do" , "disguise" , "Put on your most elegant clothes" , "Look smart" , "Adorn" .)
