In a romantic move, dropping English, I garbled romantic Latin phrase (4,6,5)
I believe the answer is:
amor vincit omnia
'romantic latin phrase' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.
'in a romantic move dropping english i garbled' is the wordplay.
'dropping' is a deletion indicator.
'english' becomes 'E' (abbreviation as in OED).
'garbled' indicates anagramming the letters.
'in'+'a'+'romantic'+'move'='inaromanticmove'
'inaromanticmove' with 'e' taken away is 'inaromanticmov'.
'inaromanticmov'+'i'='inaromanticmovi'
'inaromanticmovi' is an anagram of 'AMOR VINCIT OMNIA'.
Can you help me to learn more?
