Capital way to spell "AS"? (6)
I believe the answer is:
athens
'capital' is the definition.
(capital of Greece)
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for athens that I've seen before include "Capital of Greece" , "EU capital" , "6 capital" , "City in which 13 Across founded school" , "Hasten to European capital" .)
