Did the Romans figure it as the capital of China? (7)
I believe the answer is:
hundred
'capital of china?' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hundred that I've seen before include "Subdivision of shire; ton" , "Former division of county" , "entirely associated with 27 [PERCENT]" , "See 19" , "Old part of county" .)
