Ross

I believe the answer is:

joust

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This might be a double definition.

'contest' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'right about love' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how they can define each other.

'is' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for joust that I've seen before include "Participate in tournament" , "Contest for mounted knights" , "contest on horseback" , "Medieval contest" , "Tournament with engagements between knights" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
