The opposite way to chat (8)
I believe the answer is:
converse
This clue could be a double definition.
'the opposite' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'chat' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
'way to' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may belong to one of the definitions.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for converse that I've seen before include "Talk - opposite" , "Remain silent? No" , "Exchange views" , "discuss" , "Talk together" .)
