Attire for action? (7)
I believe the answer is:
lawsuit
'for action?' is the definition.
(legal action)
'attire' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'attire' could be 'suit' (I've seen this before) and 'suit' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'law' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lawsuit that I've seen before include "Process of bringing dispute or claim before the courts" , "Legal dispute" , "Court case" , "Dispute brought to court" , "Legal proceedings" .)
