Society question posh deity resolves (7)
I believe the answer is:
squares
'resolves' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to thinking as well as being verbs in their -s form.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'society question posh deity' is the wordplay.
'society' becomes 's' (common abbreviation in names of organisations).
'question' becomes 'q'.
'posh' becomes 'u' (abbreviation for upper-class - opposite to non-U).
'deity' becomes 'ares' (Ares is an example).
's'+'q'+'u'+'ares'='SQUARES'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for squares that I've seen before include "Equal-sided rectangles" , "They contain four right angles" , "Rectangle with four equal sides and four right angles" , "1,4,9, ..." , "Types of rectangle" .)
