Rising war of words in Kent confusing system (7)
I believe the answer is:
network
'system' is the definition.
(network is a kind of system)
'rising war of words in kent confusing' is the wordplay.
'rising' says the letters should be written in reverse (going up in a down clue).
'war of words' becomes 'row' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'confusing' is an anagram indicator.
'row' back-to-front is 'wor'.
'kent' with letters rearranged gives 'netk'.
'wor' put within 'netk' is 'NETWORK'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for network that I've seen before include "To develop business contacts" , "Make business contacts socially" , "Lattice" , "(Eg, railway) system" , "Linked stations" .)
