Power and energy associated with odd character in fact (5)
I believe the answer is:
force
'power' is the definition.
(I know that power can be written as force)
'energy associated with odd character in fact' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'energy' could be 'e' (physics symbol as in E=mc2) and 'e' is found within the answer.
'character' could be 'r' and 'r' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'foc' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'and' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for force that I've seen before include "Act of God preventing someone from fulfilling a contract" , "Compulsion - police" , "Coercion; influence" , "Impetus" , "Strength - compulsion" .)
