Consensus caused by electricity cable (6)
I believe the answer is:
accord
'consensus' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'electricity cable' is the wordplay.
'electricity' becomes 'AC' (AC is an example).
'cable' becomes 'cord'.
'ac'+'cord'='ACCORD'
'caused by' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for accord that I've seen before include "Unanimity" , "Peace and agreement" , "Model" , "Myra -, pianist; Rudolf -, Nazi" , "concert" .)
