Linguistic code produced by good books in Ireland, for one (8)
I believe the answer is:
notation
'linguistic code' is the definition.
'notation' can be an answer for 'code' (thesaurus). I am not certain of the 'linguistic' bit.
'good books in ireland for one' is the wordplay.
'good books' becomes 'ot' (Old Testament).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'ireland for one' becomes 'nation' (ireland is a kind of nation).
'ot' inserted inside 'nation' is 'NOTATION'.
'produced by' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for notation that I've seen before include "A comment added to a text" , "Written comment" , "Set of representative symbols" , "System of musical symbols" , "Set of symbols representing quantity etc." .)
