Conservative with inclination for housework? (8)
I believe the answer is:
cleaning
'housework?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'conservative with inclination' is the wordplay.
'conservative with' becomes 'c' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'inclination' becomes 'leaning' (leaning is a kind of inclination).
'c'+'leaning'='CLEANING'
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cleaning that I've seen before include "Removing dirt" , "Freeing from dirt" , "Wiping" , "housework?" , "sponging, perhaps?" .)
