Language degrees prior to ChatGPT? (5)
I believe the answer is:
masai
'language' is the definition.
(Masai is an example)
'degrees prior to chatgpt?' is the wordplay.
'degrees' becomes 'mas' (MA is an example).
'prior to' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'chatgpt?' becomes 'ai' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'mas'+'ai'='MASAI'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for masai that I've seen before include "E.African pastoral people" , "East African people" , "East African native" , "People of the highlands of Kenya and Tanzania" , "Pastoral people of East Africa - as I am (anag)" .)
