Erato forced to give pompous speech (5)
I believe the answer is:
orate
'pompous speech' is the definition.
The definition and answer are not the same part of speech. However, I know that 'pompous' relates to this answer.
'erato forced' is the wordplay.
'forced' is an anagram indicator.
'erato' anagrammed gives 'ORATE'.
'to give' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for orate that I've seen before include "Speak formally" , "Make a pompous speech" , "Speak pompously and at length" , "Speak like Cicero?" , "Pontificate" .)
