Concealing mother's piece (7)
I believe the answer is:
masking
'concealing' is the definition.
(I know that masking is a type of concealing)
'mother's piece' is the wordplay.
'mother's' becomes 'ma's' (ma can mean mother).
'piece' becomes 'king' (king is a kind of piece).
'mas'+'king'='MASKING'
(Another definition for masking that I've seen is " Disguising".)
I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
