Almost all cheating to get European title (4)
I believe the answer is:
frau
'european title' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how they can define each other.
'almost all cheating' is the wordplay.
'almost all' means to remove the last letter.
'cheating' becomes 'fraud'.
'fraud' with its final letter taken off is 'FRAU'.
'to get' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for frau that I've seen before include "Foreign woman" , "German wife" , "German title for a woman" , "Address for an adult German woman" , "German form of Mrs" .)
