Beg or ask! Precare, supplica! (3)
I believe the answer is:
ora
'ask precare supplica' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'beg or' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'or' is found in the answer.
A single letter 'a' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for ora that I've seen is " Pray for us - ... pro nobis".)
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
