Observing the future, support first Conservative leaving in a rush (9)
I believe the answer is:
prophetic
'observing the future' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'support first conservative leaving in a rush' is the wordplay.
'support' becomes 'prop' (prop up can mean to support).
'first conservative' becomes 'c' (1st letter of 'conservative').
'leaving' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'in a rush' becomes 'hectic' (I've seen this before).
'hectic' with 'c' removed is 'hetic'.
'prop'+'hetic'='PROPHETIC'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for prophetic that I've seen before include "Seeing what's going to happen" , "inspirational" , "Forecasting" , "Foretelling events" , "Divinatory, prescient" .)
