What stops penetration attempts from Romeo during fling? (6)
I believe the answer is:
armour
'what stops penetration attempts' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'romeo during fling?' is the wordplay.
'romeo' becomes 'r' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'during' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'fling?' becomes 'amour' (I've seen this before).
'r' inserted inside 'amour' is 'ARMOUR'.
'from' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for armour that I've seen before include "Protection for a fighter" , "king caught in affair" , "Battle protection" , "Protective covering for knight of old" , "Protective metal covering for combat" .)
