'delight in that business that occurred between the roman general and the egyptian ruler?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how they can define each other.

'delight in that business' is the wordplay.
'delight in' becomes 'love' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'that business' becomes 'affair' (I've seen this in another clue).
'love'+'affair'='LOVE-AFFAIR'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for love affair that I've seen before include "A (short?) romantic relationship" , "Romance" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
