Wiggle room in terms of reference? (5)
I believe the answer is:
scope
This clue might be a double definition.
'wiggle room' is the first definition.
'scope' can be an answer for 'room' (thesaurus). I am unsure of the 'wiggle' bit.
'terms of reference?' is the second definition.
'scope' can be an answer for 'reference?' (thesaurus). I'm unsure of the 'terms of' bit.
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for scope that I've seen before include "Extent; latitude" , "Room" , "Field" , "Range of action" , "The range of something, say an inquiry" .)
