Essentially ignoring Prince's language (4)

I believe the answer is:

erse

(Other definitions for erse that I've seen before include "Old language spoken by strange seer" , "Old Scots or Irish Gaelic" , "Old Celtic language" , "Possibly the language" , "Irish Gaelic language" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
