A reminder about the figures (5)
I believe the answer is:
relic
'a reminder' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'about the figures' is the wordplay.
'about' becomes 're' ('re' means regarding or about).
'the figures' becomes 'lic' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
're'+'lic'='RELIC'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for relic that I've seen before include "Memorial object" , "One may venerate this" , "church treasure" , "Trace" , "Ancient survival" .)
