Francis is sanctified round here (6)
I believe the answer is:
assisi
'round here' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'francis is sanctified' is the wordplay.
'ASSISI' is hidden back-to-front within the letters.
But, I'm uncertain how this is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for assisi that I've seen before include "town, in Italy" , "St Francis's town" , "Homeplace of St Francis" , "Italian town associated with St Francis" , "saint from here" .)
