The way that leads to conflict (7)
I believe the answer is:
warpath
'the way' is the definition.
(warpath is a kind of way)
'leads to conflict' is the wordplay.
'leads' becomes 'path' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'to' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (I've seen this in other clues).
'conflict' becomes 'war' (war is a kind of conflict).
'path' put after 'war' is 'WARPATH'.
'that' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for warpath that I've seen before include "On which one is in angry mood" , "Road to battle" , "One's heading for conflict when on it" , "Route taken by militant Red Indians" , "On the - means angry" .)
