By which I mean an offence (2,2)
I believe the answer is:
as in
'by which i mean' is the definition.
('as in' can be used to introduce a clarification)
'an offence' is the wordplay.
'an' becomes 'a'.
'offence' becomes 'sin' (I've seen this before).
'a'+'sin'='AS IN'
(Another definition for as in that I've seen is " meaning".)
