Carthaginian related to wordplay? (5)
I believe the answer is:
punic
'carthaginian' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'related to wordplay?' is the wordplay.
'related' becomes 'ic' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'to' means one lot of letters go next to another (I've seen this in other clues).
'wordplay?' becomes 'pun' ('pun' can be a synonym of 'wordplay').
'ic' put after 'pun' is 'PUNIC'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for punic that I've seen before include "Carthaginian" , "Relating to Carthage" , "ancient language" .)
