Some come to terms over fetish? (5)
I believe the answer is:
totem
'fetish?' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'some come to terms over' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates a hidden word (some of the parts of the word are used).
'over' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'metot' can be found hidden inside 'come to terms'.
'metot' reversed gives 'TOTEM'.
(Other definitions for totem that I've seen before include "Spiritually significant emblem" , "Object of veneration" , "Idol" , "Emblem of kinship among native Americans" , "Motet (anag.)" .)
