Legacy - what one shouldn't ask a lady about it? (8)
I believe the answer is:
heritage
'legacy' is the definition.
('heritage' can be a synonym of 'legacy')
'what one shouldn't ask a lady about it?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'one' could be 'i' (Roman numeral) and 'i' is found within the answer.
'a' is within the answer.
'lady' could be 'her' (I've seen this before) and 'her' is found in the answer.
'it?' could be 't' (abbreviation. e.g. in 'tis) and 't' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ge' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for heritage that I've seen before include "Objects and cultural traditions passed down" , "Their age (anag.)" , "Property or practices passed down" , "Stuff handed down from the past" , "Birthright" .)
