Legislative measures followed by Romans (4)
I believe the answer is:
acts
'romans' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to communication as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'legislative measures followed' is the wordplay.
'legislative' becomes 'ac' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'measures' becomes 'Ts' (T is an example).
'followed' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'ac'+'ts'='ACTS'
'by' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for acts that I've seen before include "Behaves like thespian" , "Cast in major play sections" , "Goes" , "Is effective" , "Behaves or plays" .)
