Conceal Conservative with a show of discontent about national symbol (10)
I believe the answer is:
camouflage
'conceal' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'conservative with a show of discontent about national symbol' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'conservative' could be 'c' (UK political abbreviation) and 'c' is found in the answer.
'a' is found in the answer.
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is found within the answer.
'about' could be 'a' (abbreviation in Chambers) and 'a' is found in the answer.
'symbol' could be 'mu' (mu is a kind of symbol) and 'mu' is found within the leftover letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for camouflage that I've seen before include "Disguise (from enemy)" , "Green and brown on a green and brown background, say?" , "Method of blending in fine" , "blind" , "Disguise by use of colour, patterns etc" .)
