Oversight when addressing delegation? (8)
I believe the answer is:
omission
'oversight' is the definition.
(omission is a kind of oversight)
'addressing delegation?' is the wordplay.
'addressing' becomes 'o' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'delegation?' becomes 'mission' ('mission' can be a synonym of 'delegation').
'o'+'mission'='OMISSION'
'when' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for omission that I've seen before include "Act of leaving out" , "task not done" , "Lack" , "Exclusion" , "Gap" .)
