Informed of a fight on base (5)
I believe the answer is:
aware
'informed of' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'a fight on base' is the wordplay.
'fight on' becomes 'war' (warring is a kind of fighting. I am not sure about the 'on' bit.).
'base' becomes 'e' (I've seen this in other clues).
'a'+'war'+'e'='AWARE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for aware that I've seen before include "Alert, conscious of" , "Acquainted with or conscious of" , "Cognizant" , "Acquainted with or mindful of" , "Having knowledge of, informed" .)
