Passage from 'North and South' included in feature (7)
I believe the answer is:
transit
'passage' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'north and south included in feature' is the wordplay.
'north' becomes 'n' (synonyms).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'south' becomes 's' (synonyms).
'included in' indicates putting letters inside.
'feature' becomes 'trait' (I've seen this before).
'n'+'s'='ns'
'ns' put within 'trait' is 'TRANSIT'.
'from' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for transit that I've seen before include "In migration" , "The carrying of people etc" , "In - - (en route)" , "Change" , "Pass through; van" .)
