Right about Conservative's temporary break in hostilities (5)
I believe the answer is:
truce
'break in hostilities' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'right about conservative's' is the wordplay.
'right' becomes 'true' (associated in meaning).
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'conservative' becomes 'C' (UK political abbreviation).
'true' placed around 'c' is 'TRUCE'.
'temporary' acts as a link.
I am not very happy about this link. It may belong to another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for truce that I've seen before include "Cessation of hostilities to allow peace talks" , "Cease-fire, armistice" , "conciliatory agreement" , "barley" , "Agreement to stop battle" .)
