Blessing has been taken amiss — a feature of speech (11)
I believe the answer is:
benediction
'blessing' is the definition.
(I know that blessing can be written as benediction)
'been taken amiss a feature of speech' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
an anagram of 'been' is 'bene' which is present in the answer.
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'has' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for benediction that I've seen is " prayer".)
