Row about company call terminating early, ending in disarray (9)
I believe the answer is:
cacophony
'row' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Terrible row' mean 'cacophony' so perhaps 'row' could also mean 'cacophony')
'company call terminating early ending in disarray' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'company' could be 'co' (abbreviation) and 'co' is present in the answer.
'call' could be 'ho' (historical exclamation used to attract attention) and 'ho' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'about' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cacophony that I've seen before include "Loud discordant sounds" , "Discordant mixture of sounds" , "Clamour" , "Caterwauling" , "Din" .)
