Ambassador with attitude about India is dithering (9)
I believe the answer is:
hesitance
'is dithering' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'ambassador with attitude about india' is the wordplay.
'ambassador' becomes 'HE' (His or Her Excellency).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'attitude' becomes 'stance' (stance is a kind of attitude).
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'india' becomes 'i' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'stance' enclosing 'i' is 'sitance'.
'he'+'sitance'='HESITANCE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hesitance that I've seen before include "Diffidence" , "Doubt" , "Wavering, delay" , "Slowness to speak" .)
