Incorrectly cited small laws (6)
I believe the answer is:
edicts
'laws' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to communication as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'incorrectly cited small' is the wordplay.
'incorrectly' indicates an anagram (I've seen this in other clues).
'small' becomes 's' (abbreviation - e.g. clothes size).
'cited' anagrammed gives 'edict'.
'edict'+'s'='EDICTS'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for edicts that I've seen before include "Proclamation" , "Commands" , "Official orders issued by authority" , "Orders proclaimed by authorities" , "'Decrees, fiats (6)'" .)
