<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">kind of history</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for oral that I've seen before include "'Spoken, not written (4)'" , "Ant; tourist (dial.)" , "Type of examination" , "Via the mouth" , "Relating to speech" .)
