What NI cartographer will do in confrontation? (8)
I believe the answer is:
showdown
'confrontation?' is the definition.
(I know that confrontation can be written as showdown)
'what ni cartographer will do' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'do' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for showdown that I've seen before include "Denouement" , "Face-off" , "Climactic finale" , "Final confrontation as in western film" , "Decisive confrontation" .)
