Moderate a true treatment for heat (11)
I believe the answer is:
temperature
'heat' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both human attributes as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'moderate a true treatment' is the wordplay.
'moderate' becomes 'temper' (synonyms).
'treatment' indicates an anagram (the letters must be processed or treated).
'true' is an anagram of 'ture'.
'temper'+'a'+'ture'='TEMPERATURE'
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for temperature that I've seen before include "Degree of heat" , "Measure of heat" , "Degree of hotness" , "Measure of warmth" .)
