Germany, and us, returning fashion and title (7)
I believe the answer is:
dukedom
'title' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Hereditary title ' mean 'dukedom' so perhaps 'title' could also mean 'dukedom')
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dukedom that I've seen before include "Noble rank" , "nobility?" , "Duchy" , "Highest title of aristocracy" , "Hereditary title" .)
