Unloved Conservative to have a go (3)
I believe the answer is:
try
This clue could be a double definition.
'unloved conservative' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how they can define each other.
'have a go' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for try that I've seen before include "crack" , "Gorse" , "Examine" , "Sample" , "Go" .)
