Mitigating something bad in a turbulent age (6)
I believe the answer is:
easing
'mitigating' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'bad in a turbulent age' is the wordplay.
'bad' becomes 'sin'.
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'a turbulent' is an anagram indicator.
'age' anagrammed gives 'eag'.
'sin' going within 'eag' is 'EASING'.
'something' acts as a link.
This may not be right. It may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for easing that I've seen before include "comforting" , "Calming - relaxation" , "Becoming less severe" , "falling off?" , "Making lighter" .)
