Time for smoothing things over? (7)
I believe the answer is:
evening
This could be a double definition.
'time' is the first definition.
(time of day)
'smoothing things over?' is the second definition.
'evening' can be an answer for 'smoothing' (as in making something even). I'm unsure of the 'things over?' bit.
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for evening that I've seen before include "Time for vespers" , "twilight" , "late party" , "Before nightfall" , "Late time of day" .)
