Tit for tat, say, a feature of party politics? (4)
I believe the answer is:
typo
'tit for tat' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.
'a feature of party politics?' is the wordplay.
'a feature of' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'TYPO' is hidden in the letters of 'party politics'.
'say' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for typo that I've seen before include "False character" , "Small printing error" , "Printer's error" , "Spelling mistake" , "Misprint" .)
