Some illicit rendezvous get discussed online (5)
I believe the answer is:
trend
'discussed online' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'some illicit rendezvous get' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (some parts of the word are used).
'TREND' is hidden in the letters of 'illicit rendezvous get'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for trend that I've seen before include "Fashion; general direction" , "Leaning; fashion" , "Prevailing tendency" , "Style, vogue" , "General direction in which something is developing" .)
