With which the relinquishment of office may be accepted (11)
I believe the answer is:
resignation
'with which' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'the relinquishment of office may be accepted' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is found in the answer.
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is located in the answer.
'accepted' could be 'in' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'in' is located in the leftover letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for resignation that I've seen before include "acquiescence" , "Acceptance of the inevitable" , "Giving up job" , "surrender" , "Notice" .)
