Letters from Paris and Rome? (8)
I believe the answer is:
capitals
'letters' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to communication as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'paris and rome?' is the wordplay.
'paris' becomes 's' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'rome?' becomes 'capital' (rome is a kind of capital).
's' put after 'capital' is 'CAPITALS'.
'from' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for capitals that I've seen before include "Upper-case letters" , "Upper case letters" , "Great cities or large letters" , "E.g. PARIS, ROME" , "Major cities or large letters" .)
