Tory and scoundrel are in agreement (6)
I believe the answer is:
concur
'tory and scoundrel are in agreement' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'tory and scoundrel' is the wordplay.
'tory' becomes 'con' (abbreviation for Conservative).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'scoundrel' becomes 'cur' (I've seen this before).
'con'+'cur'='CONCUR'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for concur that I've seen before include "Give assent" , "Stone pile" , "run together" , "See eye to eye" , "Express agreement" .)
