British satirist fighting being quoted (5)
I believe the answer is:
waugh
'british satirist fighting being quoted' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'fighting being quoted' is the wordplay.
'fighting' becomes 'war'.
'being quoted' shows a homophone (sound like).
'war' sounds like 'WAUGH'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for waugh that I've seen before include "Evelyn -, twentieth century English novelist" , "SECOND PART OF 19 down" , "'Vile Bodies' author" , "see 26 Across" , "Evelyn --, English author" .)
