Acknowledged love — married around November (5)
I believe the answer is:
owned
'acknowledged' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'love married around november' is the wordplay.
'love' becomes 'o' (love means zero in tennis).
'married' becomes 'wed' (wed can mean married).
'around' is an insertion indicator.
'november' becomes 'N' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'wed' going around 'n' is 'wned'.
'o'+'wned'='OWNED'
(Other definitions for owned that I've seen before include "Acknowledged" , "admitted making confession" , "made a confession" , "Had possession of" , "fully paid off?" .)
