Politician taking steps to secure my agreement (11)
I believe the answer is:
concordance
'agreement' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'politician taking steps to secure my' is the wordplay.
'politician' becomes 'con'.
'taking steps' becomes 'dance' ('dance step' can be a synonym of 'step'. I am not sure about the 'taking' bit.**).
'to secure' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'my' becomes 'cor' (I've seen this in other clues).
'con'+'dance'='condance'
'condance' placed around 'cor' is 'CONCORDANCE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for concordance that I've seen before include "Agreement; list of words" , "book for Bible scholars" , "Cruden's work" .)
