Grandeur that precedes circumstance? (4)
I believe the answer is:
pomp
This might be a double definition.
'grandeur that precedes' is the first definition.
'pomp' can be an answer for 'grandeur' (I have seen 'Ceremonial grandeur' mean 'pomp' so perhaps 'grandeur' could also mean 'pomp'). I'm not sure about the remainder of the definition.
'circumstance?' is the second definition.

Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pomp that I've seen before include "Vain display" , "Excessive ceremony" , "Self-importance" , "Ceremony or ostentation" , "Ostentation - vanity" .)
