The majority must accept one gets damp (5)
I believe the answer is:
moist
'damp' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'the majority must accept one' is the wordplay.
'the majority' becomes 'most' (I've seen this before).
'must accept' is an insertion indicator.
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'most' enclosing 'i' is 'MOIST'.
'gets' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for moist that I've seen before include "bit wet" , "sloppy" , "lubricated" , "Damp, humid" , "Dampish" .)
