Only parts of festivities? (5)
I believe the answer is:
fetes
'festivities?' is the definition.
(I know this)
'only parts' is the wordplay.
'only' becomes 'fe' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'parts' becomes 'tes' (te is a kind of part).
'fe'+'tes'='FETES'
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for fetes that I've seen before include "honours" , "gala events" , "Festivals" .)
