Move beyond fashion to accept answer by Conservative (9)
I believe the answer is:
transcend
'move beyond fashion to accept answer by conservative' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'fashion to accept answer by conservative' is the wordplay.
'fashion' becomes 'trend' (I've seen this in another clue).
'to accept' is an insertion indicator.
'answer' becomes 'ans' (abbreviation for answer).
'by' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'conservative' becomes 'C' (UK political abbreviation).
'ans'+'c'='ansc'
'trend' going around 'ansc' is 'TRANSCEND'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for transcend that I've seen before include "exceed?" , "Surpass (an achievement)" , "Go beyond, surpass" .)
