View obstructed at first? Hold tight! (7)
I believe the answer is:
opinion
'view' is the definition.
(I know that view can be written as opinion)
'obstructed at first? hold tight' is the wordplay.
'at first?' says to take the initial letters (I've seen 'at first' mean this).
'hold tight' becomes 'pinion' (pinioning is a kind of holding. I am not sure about the 'tight' bit.).
The initial letter of 'obstructed' is 'o'.
'o'+'pinion'='OPINION'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for opinion that I've seen before include "thinking" , "Personal belief without proof" , "Personal belief or judgment" , "Belief or conviction" , "school of thought" .)
