Journalist lives to circumvent court injunctions (6)
I believe the answer is:
edicts
'injunctions' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to communication as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'journalist lives to circumvent court' is the wordplay.
'journalist' becomes 'ed' (short for editor).
'lives' becomes 'is' ('be' can be a synonym of 'live').
'to circumvent' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'court' becomes 'ct' (abbreviation used in road names).
'is' placed around 'ct' is 'icts'.
'ed'+'icts'='EDICTS'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for edicts that I've seen before include "Orders proclaimed by an authority" , "'Decrees, fiats (6)'" , "Official orders from authorities" , "Commands" , "Decrees by authority" .)
