Examination of Roman numerals interrupting dinner? (7)
I believe the answer is:
medical
'examination' is the definition.
(I know that medical is a type of examination)
'roman numerals interrupting dinner?' is the wordplay.
'roman numerals' becomes 'dic' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'interrupting' indicates putting letters inside.
'dinner?' becomes 'meal' (dinner is a meal).
'dic' put inside 'meal' is 'MEDICAL'.
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for medical that I've seen before include "Relating to the art of healing" , "Check-up - declaim (anag)" , "Thorough health check" , "Fitness examination" , "Relating to treatment rather than surgery" .)
