Diplomacy (4)

I think it could be either:

tact

dact

'diplomacy' is the definition.
(tact can mean diplomacy or sensitivity)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for tact that I've seen before include "Sensitivity in dealing with people" , "Consideration in dealing with others" , "Delicacy of feeling, skill in saying the right thing" , "Skill in dealing with people" , "Fine perception" .)

I've seen this clue in The Star Tribune, The Independent, the King Feature Syndicate, the Sydney Morning Herald, The Telegraph, The Wall Street Journal, the Evening Standard, The Times and The Mirror.
