Admit a priest's men sounded European (6)
I believe the answer is:
ordain
'admit' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with communicating as well as being verbs in their base form.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'a priest's men sounded european' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'a' is present in the answer.
'men' could be 'or' (Other Ranks: non-commissioned soldiers) and 'or' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'din' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ordain that I've seen before include "Appoint ceremonially to the priesthood" , "Lay down (law)" , "Invest with ministerial authority" , "Elevate or appoint to priesthood" , "Install as priest" .)
