What crowd adapted for a slogan (9)
![Ross](/clue/static/ross-mug.min.png)
I believe the answer is:
watchword
'a slogan' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'what crowd adapted' is the wordplay.
'adapted' indicates an anagram.
'what'+'crowd'='whatcrowd'
'whatcrowd' anagrammed gives 'WATCHWORD'.
'for' is the link.
(Other definitions for watchword that I've seen before include "rallying-cry" , "Slogan" .)
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
