So much talk of granting asylum (3)
I believe the answer is:
gas
'so much talk' is the definition.
'gas' can be an answer for 'talk' (gas can mean to chat). I'm not sure about the 'so much' bit.
'of granting asylum' is the wordplay.
'of' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'GAS' can be found hidden inside 'granting asylum'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for gas that I've seen before include "Talk profusely" , "Nitrogen maybe" , "In brief, American petrol" , "Petrol (USA)" , "See 2" .)
